“How can such a pure feeling emerge from an actor’s body? ”
A young woman awaits her lover. In the shade of a cherry orchard thickening with the memories and unfulfilled desires of many generations, her own desire is taken up into the maddening whirlwinds of history.
Fresh off a run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, this moving one-woman play is a striking performance audiences won’t want to miss! Katie’s Tales interlaces song, poetry, evocative physicality, and striking stage imagery to create the dream traces of one woman's encounter with love, war, ancestral memory, and a future still-to-come. In just under an hour running time, writer and performer Agnieszka Kazimierska brings audiences into a powerful, storied, feminine world of color, song, and love – despite and beyond the wars and other ruins that (capital "H") History throws our way. This exquisite performer’s work is not to be missed!
“Fascinating dialogue with her Foremothers and – at the same time – her kinswomen.”
