Between Words Theatre

This November, Between Words is hosting the Dreaming Climate Consciousness Intensive, a workshop for playwrights and creative writers in Victoria.

Climate change is one of the largest threats facing humanity, and it is still hard to talk about. We’d like to make room for those conversations, and for the creative work that can come out of them.

Over five days, a small group of writers will imagine a climate-changed future together, in all its tension and possibility, and meet each other along the way. They’ll invent a world from scratch, with its own history, rules, and fault lines, and then work out what climate change does to the people living in it.

If you care about what’s happening to the planet, like making things with other people, and want your creative work to be part of social and environmental change, we’d like you in the room.

After fleeing war-torn Albania, childhood friends Mirela and Lena find refuge at a secluded, Orthodox convent deep in the forests of Thebes. The play will follow the sisters of Saint Euphrosynos as they prepare for the Great Lent, a holy month of fasting and pious study. As the sisters enter their fast, Lena tries to temper her sudden cravings for earthly pleasures. She spends her days in frenzied prayer and her nights gorging herself on honey-soaked figs, blood-red w**e and raw red meat. But nothing can satiate her, and her hunger only grows as the convent draws closer to Pascha, an Easter feast celebrating Jesus’ resurrection. Lena’s feasting sets in motion a strange series of miracles which blur the line between the spiritual and the bodily, the sacred and the profane. When Mirela is offered initiation into the church, she is torn between the safety of the convent and the nun’s ritualized starvation, and her ravenous love for Lena.

Saturday, June 6th at 7:00pm. Tickets are available and can be purchased on our website - link in bio.

Death, the Dance, and the Girl follows Death in his office, waiting for a client who is incredibly late. Enter Aphrodite, a prickly and newly dead 24 year old who died falling up the stairs immediately after breaking up with her long time boyfriend, Tom. Before Aphrodite can move through the door to What Comes Next, Death must process her, what she calls ‘ghost therapy’. Although initially hesitant, it quickly becomes apparent that Death needs some ghost therapy himself. As they grow closer, a surprise phone call comes through, giving Aphrodite a once-in-a-lifetime choice: Does she return to the land of the living, or instead continue into the What Comes Next, whatever it is. The show is about feeling in control, the way we cope with death and failure, and the way relationships develop, for better or worse.
