Animate can no longer feel pain, Brim forgot what happened to them, and The Hole is newborn and has no idea how to even exist. Their old way of living is gone.

    Loved this experimental piece about grief and the importance of community. Tankus makes some bold choices in this play that I'd love to see realized by an adventurous cast, director and design team. A play that I could see with a huge budget or really scrappy. Loved this play and what it says about the pain we deal with when we lose someone we love.

    1. A wonderful, daring exploration of form
    2. An embodied experience of grief (in its many forms) digested and shat out upon the world
    3. Weird, but makes Perfect Sense; Nelle Tankus knows what she's doin, I tell ya!
    4. A hole lot of love, despite a hole lot of pain

    ROCHEFORT girls isn't about music or choreography but it's an existential song and dance nonetheless. There's this sense, sometimes an undercurrent and sometimes shouted in your face, of catharsis, an almost-boiling-over, and sometimes it's emotional and sometimes it's startling and sometimes it's clever and funny, and often it's all of the above. The formatting of the script is a spectacle in itself, and this piece would be the most fun ever to direct or design for because there's both so much space and so much specificity in the world.
