Submitted by the Event Organizer
The 30th anniversary production of this site-specific, drive-in installation at the historic Southern Pacific Railroad Station in West Oakland merges archival techniques and digital technologies to transport audiences to Oakland in the early 1900s. A powerful mix of live storytelling combines with original interviews, music, poetry and narratives transmitted via FM radio to each vehicle, as video projections on the exterior of the historic station bring to life the stories of early Southern Pacific Railroad workers and explore the experiences of Oakland’s 16th Street community in the first half of the 20th century. Originally created by Stephanie Anne Johnson with Michael Copeland Snydor, the production features a new sound score by Kevin Myrick, and captures the moving stories of the workers, community members, and civic leaders who made up the West Oakland and 16th Street Station community, and highlights the ways in which the station brought dignity, opportunity, and transformation to its residents.
