About the show
HERE Arts Center presents a multi-disciplinary theater piece examining the age-old practice of pathologizing women. More…
In this experimental performance, audiences travel through re-imagined moments in history that are interrupted by flashes of jarring fantasy which turn the narrative on its head. Fusing live music, puppetry, and movement, and drawing inspiration from poignant sources like Marilyn Monroe’s diary and speeches by female celebrities, 'Ship of Fools' is an intimate, topsy-turvy journey that spotlights women’s voices. Part of HARP, the HERE Artist Residency Program. Note: Only 20 seats available per performance!
