BLOOD ORANGE
By Abigail Duclos
Directed by Alexandra Haddad
SATURDAY OCTOBER 7TH 8:30PM @ BRICK AUX WILLIAMSBURG
628 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211
Free admission with $10 suggested donation
A 6-person dark comedy that explores lesbian desire, the aftermath of grief, and teenage mental illness. On her way home from school in rural North Carolina, Faye discovers the maimed body of a strange creature: half-bird, half-lamb. Together with Eden—a peculiar newcomer to the small town—Faye creates a new religion centered around this creature. It is a religion of queer desire, overwhelming grief, and feminine rage. Through their faith, the girls reckon with familial deaths, parental neglect, and the impacts of abuse.
