In the full length play with music, FEMALE, ASHKENAZI WITH A SEWING MACHINE, the diagnosis of ovarian cancer propels adoptee Anna on a journey, with her sewing machine, to find her deepest roots. It’s a non-linear, dimension defying journey, as she walks along the horizon, acutely aware of death on the other side, aided and challenged by the shape shifting Ashkenazi Foundress. Along the way, she collides with her genetic mutation, stumbles into chapters of Ashkenazi history, with indigo, her favorite color, ever present, taking her home.
