Culture shock. Loss of a parent. Gambling addiction. A psychedelic gnome. These and other stories will come to life this August in Hassan Christopher and Megan Weaver's tribute to the mundane and epic moments that occur at tables, in a site-specific dance theater collage of crowdsourced true stories presented free to the public at Hudson River Park.

Developed over 12 months with the support of FullStop Collective's devised-theater wing FullStop.LAB, Ghost Card will premiere August 3, 4 and 6 on Allan and Ellen Wexler's public art sculpture Two Too Large Tables at Hudson River Park at 29th Street in Chelsea, Manhattan.

Conceived by director/choreographer Hassan Christopher and director/playwright Megan Weaver, Ghost Card features 28 true crowdsourced stories curated from over 100 collected over the last year. The stories were all prompted by the word "table," and in performance are revealed in chance order through an interactive card game played between a band of "hungry ghosts" and the audience. The ghosts "feed" on the stories through movement, improvisation and spoken text, inviting individual audience members to experience each story from a unique perspective within the sculpture itself. The experience is augmented by a digital deck of cards and interactive story soundscape accessible via smartphone.
