Pocket Curiosities: Novae
By Rachel Weekley
June 2022, Queerly Festival, Frigid New York, Kraine Theater
Pocket Curiosities is two pieces presented as if you had just found them in your pocket. Like they had been there all along and you'd just forgotten about them. First, the story of a Pirate who actually for sure, definitely isn't a pirate (directed by Nazlah Black). Secondly Novae, a story about destruction and rebirth told through dreams and hand puppets.

“Even the different moods that sometimes follow hard upon one another might be seen to mimic that ontological and existential abundance. The three performers adroitly complement one another, creating an aura of playfulness tinged with Beckettian melancholy.”
- John R. Ziegler and Leah Richards for Thinking Theater NYC
