Apples and Whales
A creation myth, a correspondence, a confession: Filled with poetic and absurd images, this original multi-media show investigates what happens when an event causes our world to fracture, how we make sense of things and how we inevitably carry on.
Over a backdrop of spirited original compositions, three women tell three very different stories. At times funny, at times heartbreaking, this is a story about being human.
