Rose: You Are Who You Eat
Conceived, Written, and Performed by John Jarboe
Directed by MK Tuomanen
A true story of fetal cannibalism and gender feasting, set to music.
Once upon a vine, John Jarboe’s aunt revealed that John not only had a twin sister in the womb, but that John consumed her: “You ate her. That’s why you are the way you are.” This was a lot for John to swallow! In this musical shrine to the consumed twin, named Rose, John welcomes you into a feast of gender through song, storytelling, and a full plate of wordplay. Featuring all original music, written in collaboration with Emily Bate, Daniel de Jesús, Pax Ressler, and Be Steadwell. From a commission by Works & Process at the Guggenheim. In Partnership with The Bearded Ladies Cabaret Rolling World Premiere with Woolly Mammoth, CulturalDC, and FringeArts.
Presented as part of UNDER THE RADAR
