Anna Bella Eema

Gas & Electric Arts presents ANNA BELLA EEMA A play by Lisa D'Amour | Music by Chris Sidorfsky Anna Bella Eema is a trailer-park odyssey about a precocious 10-year-old girl and her mother who live on the edge of extinction. As her home is threatened so a city can expand, Anna Bella breathes life into a girl made out of mud who catapults them onto a pulse- quickening rollercoaster ride filled with vampires, wild animals and police chases. Crackling with the heat of the mother/daughter bond, this family's secrets and deepest instincts vividly remind us not only of how many in America are mistreated, silenced, and forgotten but also the tremendous power of their inner resources and resiliency. At Gas & Electric Arts, the ordinary and the extraordinary fluidly mingle, making the invisible visible through provocative, evocative physicality and vocal exploration. These three actors will draw you deeply under their spell simply using their bodies, voices and an array of found objects, slipping back and forth from D'Amour's magical text into a hauntingly beautiful a cappella score. SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 11 Call 215.407.0556 for tickets. GasAndElectricArts.org
