About the World Premiere
Emery Harris has lived alone in a treehouse named Mabel for over a decade performing research on plants. Except for her overbearing sister Hazel, Emery’s only connection to the outside world is through her YouTube channel where she documents her
research and has garnered several thousand followers. No one is more stunned than she, though, when strangers begin gathering beneath Mabel, chanting and singing. As the crowd grows larger and louder, Emery learns she’s been unwittingly elected
as her followers’ botanical, new-age messiah. A follow-up to Deborah Zoe Laufer’s hit play Be Here Now, this warm-hearted world premiere comedy studies the power of plants and the idiosyncrasies of people.

Advisory
Rooted introduces you to memorable human characters named Emery, Hazel and Luanne - and memorable plants named Mabel, Cynthia and Gerald, among others. While the plants don't use strong adult language and explore mature themes like mental health, the humans do, so we recommend that human audience members be at least 14 years or older to attend.

Role :
Sound Designer/Composer
Order :
130
Rucyl is a Sound Designer and Multimedia Artist whose work is based on live experimentation, re-edits and sound collage. Not only does her work revolve
around the live experimentation process, but it also includes centering sound
as a medium to represent the non-tactile concepts of time, emotion, identity and physics. During her live performances, she uses midi controllers, loopers
and effects processors, with accompanying visual vignettes composed of found footage and abstract personal video. As an original member of the alternative hip-hop
group The Goats and the experimental electronic group Saturn Never Sleeps, Rucyl has performed internationally at museums and festivals. Her recent works include live performance
and sound design for Kaneza Schaal’s Jack &, as well as sound design for the off-Broadway play Anatomy of a Suicide. She has built a wearable audiovisual midi controller, The Chakakhantroller
(2008), for solo performance of electronic music. Her last installation was Sound Prism (2016), a solar-powered sonic system that plays the frequencies of the color spectrum, which is currently
installed at Organizmo Design Center in Bogota, Colombia. Rucyl received her B.S. in New Media from New School University and her Master’s degree from the ITP art and engineering program at
New York University Tisch School of the Arts. Visit rucyl.com for more information.
