info
An intimate performance woven from live music, text, memories, voices, and bodily fragments: food, hair, weight, childhood, and the unstable passage between girl and woman. With two violas, harpsichord, electronics and movement, we explore what remains when idealsof strength, femininity, family, and control begin to fracture.
On stage, one body splits in two: one shaped by hierarchy and composure, the other feral, vulnerable, resisting containment. Images and roles collapse in real time, revealing something raw and deeply human.
You’re invited into a fragile inner world where performer and audience confront vulnerability together – awkward, painful, strangely freeing.
“Come into my dream. I have to show you how I was fed. We will listen to the horrible noise in the playground. You can sing with me. We will all sing. Words of comfort exist. The big sound of violins on my shoulders, my hair.”
