A developmental production
Marina swims in a circle of routine every week — she goes to the local fish store, buys a catfish, and makes soup. But this week, her usual fishmonger has disappeared and the comfort of ritual has been destroyed. But does destruction only mean pain and suffering, or could it also mean the possibility for new and grander experiences? Through surreal storytelling and dreamlike sequences, this piece delved into themes of grief, spiritual disconnection, and the enduring ties of family. Engage in an intimate, atmospheric and subtle emotional exploration with Marina as she reconstructs a deconstructed life.
Sunday, May 31, 2026, at 2 p.m.
