Precipice: re-membering, forgetting and claiming home

May 16, 2025 - June 1, 2025

CoHo Theater - 2257 NW Raleigh St, Portland, OR 97210

Precipice is a magical-realist, fluid poem that tenderly holds place, house/home and mementos as doorways to connection, while deeply questioning materialistic notions of ownership. This one-woman show presses against the boundaries of media reports, geological truths, legacy, DNA reports, and the value of listening to the land as a third-generation Black Portlander and Oregonian. Who owns your idea of belonging? What is the legacy of the place you call home? As far as you can tell, is everyone free?

Conceived and performed by Damaris Webb; written by Chris Gonzalez.


Location: CoHo Theatre - 2257 NW Raleigh St, Portland, OR 97210
