Eggshells is a multi-voiced memoir. It is told in the first person present by multiple incarnations of the same narrator: a person who is reaching both backwards and forwards across time as she tries to understand what happened to her. As the performance thickens, a series of revelations emerge that test the boundaries of our narrators’ many truths.
Performed with humor, poetry and accompanied by a live score, Eggshells pries at the unclassifiable terrains of abuse and memory, and how these forces can shape-shift one another.
