Pure pleasure for the eyes and told from a decidedly feminist slant, this is a tale of “high emotion articulated with utmost sincerity and heady stylistic excess, all in the perspiring environs of midcentury Rio de Janeiro.” Tickets $13/$11 Also on January 11,12 & 15 at different times  Tyrant Studios – Alexander Marr QuartetJanuary 10, 2020 9:30 pm

Inspired by a very real and transformative moment in the co-director Elle-Máijá Tailfeather‘s life, THE BODY REMEMBERS WHEN THE WORLD BROKE OPEN weaves an intricately complex, while at the same time very simple, story of a chance encounter between two Indigenous women with drastically different lived experience, navigating the aftermath of domestic abuse.
