A two-hander comedy about heartbreak blending live music, science, and storytelling.
The show follows Karin McCracken as a woman navigating the fallout of heartbreak, tracing a series of relationships, bad dates, and attempted reinventions. Opposite her, Simon Leary performs all the men in her life, shifting roles to reflect the recurring patterns and emotional echoes that define her experience. The narrative moves between humor and vulnerability, punctuated by lo-fi covers of well-known breakup songs that underscore the emotional terrain.
Created by New Zealand company EBKM, the production integrates elements of science and technology to examine how heartbreak affects both body and mind. Through performance and music, the piece constructs a portrait of grief that situates romantic loss within broader questions of memory, resilience, and physiological response.
