Parts of things are in the painful process of becoming whole things themselves. “I’m Gonna Need Another One” troubles the authentic or singular self by elevating the inevitability of things falling apart. The work situates itself within the proximity of twelve green foam blocks as they leave dusty traces, eventually crumble and disappear in form. Rosenblit stands in as Performer, Herself, as well as multiple figures which speak to problems for the preparation for future strategies and ways of organizing how we come to know where and who we are. From a Sous Chef, to Chiron: the Greek God of pain known for the acknowledgment of the wound on his animal leg, a Wheat Farmer, a Soldier, Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, and a Compulsive Re-arranger of Furniture, the figures orient and reorient the work as we get lost in the multiplicity of this solo body, performing a strategy of endurance based on distraction.

In their roles as dramaturgs, Adam collaborated with Adham Hafez to research and further interrogate Rosenblit’s multivalent script, drawing on diverse touchpoints like role playing games and shared street urbanism to frame Rosenblit’s performative explorations. Alongside this dramaturgical work, Adam collaborated closely with Megan O’Connell on the creation of limited-edition, hand-printed textual “artifacts” distributed to audiences of the performance.
