SHOW SYNOPSIS & details
as submitted by the artist(s)
The dairy cow is a site of industrialized sexuality and consumption, and the “Cloven” trilogy is an ode to this overlooked yet ubiquitous animal, symbol, and food source. This eccentric choreographic work lives at the intersections of experimental theater, contemporary dance, burlesque, and performance art. "Cloven has been restaged and performed throughout the Midwest, with the latest version for the Borderlight Theatre Festival in Cleveland, OH.

Provocative!
I appreciated the performers technical abilities and their humor! Very creative. The musical score was magnificent!
Hilarious, moving, exhilarating
Two incredible, dynamic performers with unbelievable chemistry wrestle with complex dancing, laugh out loud scripts, and poignant storytelling. You’ll be disgusted, amused, and most of all refreshed and hopeful leaving this unique and thrilling performance!!!
