Cara Hagan’s Mama Piranha manifests itself as a work of physical theatre. The work introduced audiences to a collection of dreamy archetypes that invite viewers to ruminate on the tension between who we think we are, who others think we are, who we think others are, and how we all get free. Ultimately, the piece reminds us that we are world-builders, and that if the world we are living in doesn’t serve us, we must build another.
Here are some wonderful moments from ‘Mama Piranha’.
