Lionheart

writer/performer

The story of Litty, a lion-tamer trapped in a ring where Death is the ringmaster, who uses memory and magic to help open Litty's heart to love in order to take the next step on her cosmic journey.

A marriage of dense, poetic text with a stylized physical gesture vocabulary.
