Heliantha
A sophisticated movement-theater fable
Created and performed by Rachel Schroeder

A spinster sits tatting. On her fortieth "un-anniversary", she visits her wedding gown, bridal bouquet and the groom's suit in her closet. A magical transformation creates a sunflower creature who guides the woman towards redemption. Heliantha is a four-character, multi-genre story told through dance, puppetry, corporeal mime, dialogue, original rap and songs.
