We all have that one artistic project in our past that is near and dear to us for whatever reason. A defining moment if you will. This was mine. It was a chance to direct a new play fresh out of grad school. At the time I didn’t know what to do with my newfound freedom, the world was a blank canvas and I was terrified. This project gave me direction. As I’m new here, I figured I’d open up this little piece of my heart to you! <3
[EATEN VOICES]
Leona, a plucky young girl, is trapped in night, being followed by unknown creatures.
She meets a child, a child who knows nothing, and decides that he must be the Moon’s Child. Together, they travel through night, a place of stories, song, dance, masks, and mystery, heading towards day. As Leona approaches day, she begins to remember the trauma of her past, why she retreated into the night, and what she will need to do to return to day.
The brainchild of New York playwright Lavinia Roberts, Los Angeles composer Ahmed Alabaca, and Seattle director Lily Raabe, EATEN VOICES won “Best Play in Festival” at New York’s Thespis Theatre Festival in 2012 for its World Premiere. Since its first production the play has gone on to be performed at Dixon Place (NYC), Goblin Baby Theatre Company (London, UK), and the Arts in Nature Festival (Seattle, WA).
