Synopsis

Inspired by the iconic Carl Sandburg poem The Hangman at Home (1922), this piece explores themes of acknowledgement and participation. It is not about hanging people, but about the awkward intimacy that comes with being human, and the connection between spectator, witness, and accomplice. The Hangman at Home ultimately reveals that we are all more alike than different, while raising questions of responsibility.
