The Eldert Lofts
created by Lauren Kravitz and Avery-Jai Andrews for Agora Artists
Ever wonder about those strange noises coming from the apartment upstairs? Waltz through the hallways of The Eldert Lofts as a unique cast of characters explores the intimacies and intricacies of community. Take a peek behind closed doors to catch that familiar fight in the kitchen, or hide among the curtains as the woman downstairs dances alone. The original movement-based work is a series of vignettes that follows the stories of five tenants as they investigate their own relationships, exploring themes of connection, isolation, and identity.
