The Weavers

The Weavers After the play by Gerhardt Hauptmann Directed by Jay Scheib Previews Sept 30. & Oct 1. Premiering as part of MIT Museum’s FutureFest Oct 2. & Oct 3. (all shows 7pm with Saturday 2.30p matinee) "The Weavers," is a new extended reality (XR) action-film-inspired performance based on Gerhart Hauptmann's 1912 Nobel Prize-winning play, centering a community of textile workers and their bosses whose understanding of labour, sense of faith, and humanity, is pressed to the brink by the unstoppable march of mechanization, automation, and the free-fall-collapse of empathy. #willAItakemyjob Wi
