Snow
About the Production
Snow was performed under a constant flurry of snow. It is an anthology, consisting of multiple narratives framed by a single recurring one, loosely adopted from Alain Robbe-Grillet’s In The Labyrinth. Other sources of inspiration include “Yuki Onna (Snow Woman)” from Lafcadio Hearn’s collection of Japanese ghost stories entitled Kwaidan and the short story The Snow-Image by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Snow is a meditation on human suffering and storytelling.
