EGG, and How I Learned To Save Myself

EGG, and How I Learned To Save Myself

Egg is an abstract physical theater performance about an emotionally wounded woman who must reckon with and forgive her younger self. 

Proud to be ‘weird but not boring’, the Egg presents abstraction through movement, hand balancing, contortion, aerial dance, sleight of hand, and hair suspension.

A woman falls into a haunting internal dreamscape as part of her EMDR guided therapy session. There she wrestles with a past version of herself stuck in a vicious loop. The shared negative self beliefs, shameful memories, and past traumas manifest as literal eggs, and the woman and her past self must smash, nurture, and fly their way towards a hopeful future.

Its central question: what if your past and present choose to nourish and accept the disparate parts of yourself? Egg is a surreal, magical, eerie, yet optimistic encounter that beckons all who live in a milieu of avoidance and shame to instead seek self-forgiveness and connection.
