Your Carriage Awaits...
Bequeathed is a surreal, playful, semi-autobiographical puppet show about the fight to unravel the gender binary, all told through a fantastical fiber arts world.
A young person, questioning their assigned gender identity, receives an unusual gift of an embroidery hoop on their birthday. The hoop acts as a portal, and the young person is swooped up into a Georgian/Regency era world of strict gender roles, and sewing notions. Through a series of trials and tribulations, the young person struggles to perform the ideal view of womanhood. Ultimately they see what's behind the embroidery hoop - a sparkly and wonderful fluidity.
The limited premiere run is June 24th-26th at 7:30PM and June 27th at 2PM at Dixon Place at 161A Chrystie St, in the Lower East Side. Tickets are priced $30-$35. Tickets can be purchased at the Dixon Place website. A limited number of access tickets are available with the code ALLSKATE.
