Gabriel’s Corner

ANONYMOUS uses the language of dance, poetry, and original music to explore challenges of identity and belonging in a city where it’s too easy to remain unseen. Directed and choreographed by Mandie Reiber with a script devised from hundreds of nameless letters written by citizens of Over-the-Rhine, Anonymous creates an honest, intimate window into the challenges and victories that make up this city.

CFF17: 8×10

Imagine you’re locked inside an 8″ x 10″ room for 23 hours a day. You’re allowed to exercise for one hour a day in a small chain-link cage. You haven’t touched another person in decades. You don’t know when you’re getting out. This is the reality of solitary confinement in the U.S. An intimate and harrowing experience, 8×10 tells the story of one man’s path to solitary, and illuminates his fight against the invisibility he experiences there.

About KATES
KATES is a new play that reimagines a fairy tale from the Orkney Islands in a surf rock dreamscape. Two stepsisters strike out on their own after one of them is bewitched with the head of a sheep by her jealous stepmother. On their way, they encounter fairy dances, enchantments, sick princes, and pirate queens.  Lyrical, whimsical, and strange, this play is an exploration of identity and sisterhood.
