"Strike me with your arrow, and I will make Art instead of Love."
A dance-theatre piece about obsessive unrequited love, based on the book Unrequited: The Thinking Woman's Guide to Romantic Obsession by Lisa A. Phillips. In this show, we ask: How do we make sense of, and make something out of, the obsessive unrequited love experience?
