Janis Brenner in Inheritance: A Litany

Janis Brenner in Inheritance: A Litany Janis Brenner

How do we define ourselves in relation to our biology, DNA, history, and aging?

Inheritance: A Litany is a journey both personal and universal, by acclaimed dancer, choreographer, and singer Janis Brenner. She inherited her father’s wavy hair and sarcasm, her mother’s singing voice and fragile bones, but also a lifetime of their belongings, thoughts, and ways of being in the world. Together they reveal moments of a family’s history and a daughter’s path.

The work, a poetic narrative, a dance, a play, an opera, and a comic drama, is the winner of the 2018 Best Production, Best Composer, and Best Lighting Design Awards from the United Solo Theatre Festival Off Broadway and the 2019 Critics Award from All About Solo publication
