featuring the lost music of St Kilda

After the death of her Grandmother, an American woman travels to an abandoned island off the coast of Scotland and unearths a dark family secret . . . in a world where the past is anything but dead.

This critically acclaimed tale of supernatural horror is steeped in Scottish folklore and told in a tradition as ancient as its subject matter. Drama League nominee, Jody Christopherson, Time Out New York's “talent to watch not to mention a pleasure to hear,” and the Brooklyn Rail’s “Rock Monster,” alone onstage, spins a tale of Scottish horror while creating her own sound score, lighting, haze, and musical special effects to conjure a multi-layered storytelling experience.

(Think, ancient Scottish ram God performing an incantation around a campfire, and that campfire has a looper + a lot of homemade foley instruments.)

St Kilda is inspired by Christopherson’s Nebraska roots, her Scottish heritage, and the historic 1930 evacuation of Scotland’s archipelago St Kilda.

The main entrance and indoor museum are entirely flat, but there are 4 steps up and 4 steps down to the backyard. The backyard is uneven with some platforms, but a paved area near the entrance is available with a view of the stage. Email jacob@cityreliquary.org with any questions or needs, and we'll be happy to figure out if and how we can accommodate.

WHAT IS THE CITY RELIQUARY?
Reliquaries typically house the ostensible bones of dead saints. We house the bones of New York City. From seltzer bottles to schist cores, to roller skates from racially integrated rinks, to a burnt out lightbulb from the Statue of Liberty's torch. These artifacts as the backdrop, we aim to support artists and our Brooklyn community with a plethora of creative and cultural programming.
