The scars of the heart are
All spirals
Nothing so clean or quick
As the words that pierce it in the first place
We sew as fast as we can
But we sew in circles.
Fueled by rage, inspired by gothic image, folk horror, the wine dark sea, and the charms we learned in childhood, Tandem blends movement, folksong, and original text to tell the familiar story of a woman betrayed. And what happens when the “meek” inherit the earth.

YOU’VE ALWAYS LOVED THE SUN (On a Dare Productions)
Show Description: A man was casually watching his gentle neighbors one day. They were in their front yard. He heard them speak only one sentence. This man then told me what he heard and saw. He was surprised. So was I. And I wondered if I could tell their story in only one sentence.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE? BY NIKOLAI CHERNYSHEVSKY (The Tibbus Group: Elliot and Michela!)
Show Description: A word-for-word stage adaptation of the Prologue and Preface sections of Chernyshevsky’s What Is To Be Done?, a science fictional utopian socialist political-tract-disguised-as-romance-novel written from a Russian prison in 1863. Credited as the forefather of populism, political nihilism and the Russian Revolution itself, Chernyshevsky’s literary and dramatic merits are, to our protestation, rarely contemplated. Performed by two clowns, puppet-lite.
THEY TOLD YOU ABORTION WAS UGLY: POETRY ABOUT REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE (Megan Tripaldi)
