Almost, Maine at DreamWrights Center for Community Arts

A woman carries her heart, broken into nineteen pieces, in a small paper bag. A man shrinks to half his former size, after losing hope in love. A couple keep the love they have given each other in large red bags, or compress the mass into the size of a diamond. These playful and surreal experiences are commonplace in the world of John Carianis Almost, Maine, where on one deeply cold and magical Midwinter Night, the citizens of Almost not organized enough for a town, too populated for a wilderness experience the life-altering power of the human heart.
