you’re never home
how are you?
i hope you’re staying far away from places if anybody knows what’s safe
what isn’t safe
we had a little scary ice storm
i wonder if you had any of it
felt like someone was breaking windows
but no windows were broken
thank god
it was an ice storm
hello?
oh maybe she hung up?
hello?

Loosely inspired by Tadeusz Kantor’s masterpiece The Dead Class and assembled from original text, recycled memories, family secrets, old photos, live violin score, and verbatim fragments of rediscovered memoirs and voicemails, DEADCLASS, OHIO is a seance for the living and a love song for the dead.
