Three women gather in darkness to tell the story of the end of the Many Mothers — an event caused by the unexpected arrival of Vivian Oblivion, a strange entity from Outer Space. Vivian Oblivion is a performable book, a text designed for traditional book reading and generating performance. The presentation at The Brick was written and produced by Cameron Stuart and featured performances by Matthew Antoci, Leonie Bell, and Rawya El Chab, each one using portions of the text.
