They Weave with String that Suffocates
Clotho. Lachesis. Atropos. The Spinner. The Allotter. The End. The Fates observe, the Fates judge, but the Fates never act. Until now. When six blue strings inexplicably appear amongst their sea of red thread, the Fates must weave a new story if they ever want to find an answer. / Klytemnestra. Helen. Kassandra. Iphigenia. Khrysothemis. Elektra. Six women connected through family, war, and a curse. Six women bound by the strings of Fate and wrenched by the whims of man. Six women faced with one question: Is my life my own? / Amidst betrayal, murder, and revenge, these women must confront their destinies and make their final stand. As the Fates seek to understand the strange appearance of the blue strings, the women struggle against their shackles of grief, sorrow, and rage. Will the string that connects them all strangle them in the end? / Long string tethers the performers together, tangling and untangling around them as they weave through the stories of the six women. Through innovative movement and an experimental structure, the rage and contentious autonomy of women from the ancient world to today explodes onstage in this dynamic Greek mythology reimagining.
