THE BONEYARD & TALISMAN
Boneyard and Talisman
About The Show
The Boneyard is a story of Albert and Corrine, two LA Street kids living on the fringe of society. As the city of Los Angeles is being taken over by an unknown army, Albert is driven to dig up his deceased father’s body in this meditation on family, love, and greed.
Talisman finds us in the aftermath of a human-induced chemical apocalypse, where people from two very different walks of life find one another. One of them clings to hard-edged, capitalistic principles and seems to be surviving. The other has a more idealistic approach to this new world, and finds herself on the brink of starvation.
