All Exits Are Clearly Marked.

A controversial pain-relief anesthetic was pierced into her abdominal muscle, so she could feel less pain.
Instead, now she can feel nothing. Witness a new mom’s conviction in her ability to become more and more sensate, the more she is numbed by the health marketplace. This piece unfolds as a conversation between the artist and Baul poetry from the 17th and 18th centuries. It uses a cappella singing and live art to carve entries, pathways, and exits, out of this healthcare morass.
