F4
Short, drama
Four female miners give voice to their endless experience of digging the mines. Talking choir format.
M2/F2/NB 1
Full length, drama
This is an absurd feminist play focusing on the liberation of the suppressed female voice and spirit. In the play this process is portrayed through the main character, Luce. Luce is asleep and dreams her way through the play, the stage representing Luce's subconscious - here given form by Luce's crammed stuffy apartment. The further the play, the further down Luce's suppressed psyche - a blocked yet unruly inner world full of her painful memories and feelings.
These dark, but also in the end liberating energies, are portrayed by the rest of the cast; Mrs Vera Jenkins (the overbearing, but helpful (?) lady neighbour), Delivery/Picker-Upper (bringer of endless flow of stuff and boxes), Dolly (tucked away doll/childhood self) and finally the two movers, "and shakers," MS1/Huffy and MS2/Stuffy (barging in telling Luce she doesn't live there, at least not anymore, and has to move).
In meeting with her painful feelings and repressed memories, Luce goes through an intense and transformational process. At the end of the play, having finally found her deeply buried voice, Lucy lets it all out in a loud and liberating "SHUT UP!"
F5
Short, drama
This is a play depicting the ten preparatory years preceding the commencement of what would be Hilma af Klint's life work of paintings. Paintings later to be classified as ground breaking, and western art history's first ever abstract paintings. The Five was a group of women holding regular seances in which they communed with spirits. The decade long work of The Five was instrumental in preparing Hilma for her forthcoming mission. The Five centers on these consequential seances.
