Love Trade
The Hess Collective
Written & Directed by Elizabeth Hess

A love tangle. Language barriers. A lonely girl. Lost god. One angry mother. Love Trade tests the sex games Demeter passes on to her daughter Persephone, who wanders away from the Upper World and meets the exotic Shiva. All three undergo the death of fake dreams and false longings as they descend into the Depths, emerging transformed.

The Hess Collective generates new work based on a hybrid approach to embodied performance. The work addresses issues of social and global urgency through heightened realism, cross-cultural collaboration, and inter-disciplinary creation.

You can see this show for only $10 with a La MaMa ETC Membership.
