Performance Length:
70 minutes, no intermission
Two actors, father and daughter, tell their own story through the words of Virginia Woolf, composing an alternately fanciful, visceral, and vulnerable duet. Playing with language, movement, and dress-up, like children, they put on their own "living-room play." All the while, wrestling existential questions of gender and fiction: or, what it means to be and why we tell stories. ORLANDO: A Rhapsody is a shared reverie, just as much as it is a quarrel, between two generations and two experiences of art, of life.
This production marks Vinora Epp's directorial debut; it is conceived and performed by Steven Epp (of The Moving Company) and Vinora Epp.
