Journey with Synamin Vixen through a sensory expansion of her book Daughter of a Nymph Divine into a physical world of movement, projection, and sound. This work is a living meditation on grief, pleasure, and inviting silence; and audience members are invited to take their own journey throught this space.
Note: audience members will be invited to experience the space with provided headphones.
Content warning: as this piece explores pleasure, there will be some performer nudity and sexual themes.
This work is dedicated to Grandma L, PawPaw, and all the ancestors that continue to hold me through this journey.
