Is it possible for someone to love too much?

This is a dark and moving tale about a red, red girl in a blue world.

As the solemn sound of a cello envelops the stage, we enter the world of Annie, a young girl who’s overcome with desire, loneliness, love and loss.

As Annie cares day in, day out for her intoxicated father, she pines for love in strange places. Will she slip into a dream realm and never return? Or is it too late…

Red Lashes is a site-specific performance which folds dramatic imagery and song with intriguing object puppetry and improvisation.

Be enchanted by this provocative journey of space, performance and animation.


“As it was, the final work had a refreshing postmodern theatricality…the ease of the performers working together fed the flow and seamlessness of the performance…The resonance and musicality found is very evocative and sensuous.”
