The term parley derives from the French verb parler: to speak. Historically, a parley was a meeting between adversaries in order to negotiate an end to battle. To signal a willingness to talk peaceably, armies would run up a white flag. In a parley, people of vastly different opinions and experiences make themselves vulnerable by holding conflicting truths together.
Creating is a solitary act, and isolation can make art rigid. By committing to an ongoing process of writing, feedback, and production, we surrender the lone struggle and move forward in collaboration. |

Around the periphery of a spare playing area sit six people, heads obscured by white tea towels. Together, they relive two critical days in the history of a Texas family: Pecos in 1923, Amarillo in 1935. While the greatest dust storm of the twentieth century pounds the panhandle, they're forced come to terms with what they did to invite disaster.
