Rough and Tumble: Pickled Peaches and Herring is an up close and hyper-personal tongue-and-cheeky look at life’s hopes and disappointments. Buckle up to be taken on a rough and tumble, show and tell clown-dance-burlesque-theater and somewhere in between ride that acknowledges how pain is so close to pleasure, loss so close to love, and that humor is a crucial means of survival.
Asked about her work, Lillian cites the writing of David Whyte and bell hooks who propose a love large enough to carry grief and the erotic as the space between individuals full of aliveness and that can hold the celebration and the grief of life together as one. Turning towards live performance as a vehicle for this elegiac and erotic space—a space for what some call the 6th stage of grief—meaning-making—Rough and Tumble: Pickled Peaches and Herring looks across a watery expanse of love and loss at relationships with relatives dead and living, and to the legacy of pickled foods and raw feelings they have left behind.
This show is presented as part of Cannonball Festival
