Of Water and Wings

Based on characters from Shakespeare's Macbeth, this expressionistic solo performance takes a glimpse into the relationships between Lady Macbeth, her husband and the witchy sisters. Ultimately we beg the question, who was the puppeteer behind their demise?

Lady M | January 4-6 & January 11 - 13, 2021

We have closed our premiere performance, Lady M.

In case you missed it, here are some highlights!

Audience Response

"It made my skin crawl, grappling with the inner workings of one's brain and self can be so scary and overwhelming.

You made it

seem possible."



"Magical was the perfect way to describe what I saw and how I felt."



"Beautiful images, love the use of compressed space (so perfect for this moment in our lives!)"

"Viewing Lady M (thank you, thank you, thank you!) was for me a beautiful illustration of the mnemodrama in performance. Your constant manipulation of the fabric, giving it a life of its own as a second character, complimented by the continuous shifting of the viewing field, literally taking us through 360 degrees, and you beautiful foregrounding of light and sound, made this a spellbinding immersive experience. The Lady M puppet worked beautifully and I loved the imagery of the cassette tape (“words, words, words,”) as a symbol of Lady M’s rejection of speech, she can only communicate her anguish through gesture and dance."


"This was a phantasmagoria of visual textures  in a contemplative rhythm. Thanks for sharing and transporting us to another place."

"I was engrossed from start to finish."
