Trapped somewhere unknown and unescapable, a girl sits at a desk: writing and erasing, creating and destroying. Five women simulate the life (and afterlife) of Anne Frank, but when it comes time for one to be sacrificed, they must decide who the real Anne is—or if such a determination is even possible. "dear kitty" is a dance-theatre piece in verse inspired by Greek tragedy, Anne Frank and Charlotte Salomon, and the early-pandemic experience of being trapped in your childhood bedroom.
