Storm Child

Theatre Voliere

2024

Performed with Michelle Pen and Jan Wood

at the Cockpit Theatre

Knocked unconscious after a fall, a theatre technician dreams of an island with perpetual sun, a pop-up grimoire, and a dark father figure with terrible intent. Surreal, gothic metatheatre adapted by Michelle Penn from her collection Paper Crusade (Arachne Press), itself a reimagining of Shakespeare's The Tempest. A collaboration between Théâtre Volière, Michelle Penn, Eric Domenicone (La Soupe puppet company), and dancer-choreographers Eloïse Frey and Jan Wood.
