Originally developed as part of Now-In-Process @ The New Ohio Theater, Feb 2023.
A woman who runs a flower shop vanishes suddenly and no one asks questions. Another can’t seem to escape her broken umbrella. Another decides she can walk no further and becomes a living monument. Darkly comic, haunting, and mysterious, the extraordinary stories of Lucky Breaks depict the effects of the 2014 Russian invasion of Ukraine on the lives of ordinary women. An expressionistic physical score accompanies the poetic language of each brief story, bending reality into a series of movements and gestures, creating evocative imagery that defies the typical war narrative and exposes the mundane, horrific, and absurd.
