Stripes: The Mystery Circus is a delightful theatrical spectacle that invites you to “map your imagination, chart your emotional life, sculpt your fears, paint your dreams …locate yourself”. The words and songs of Stripes bounce around us and for a moment we feel what is true within ourselves Stripes: The Mystery Circus is a play about an audition that humorously and touchingly goes awry. People-pleasing Pollyhymnia will do anything to get into the circus as she launches into eight out-of-this-world circus acts. The Escape Artist becomes the woman evading romantic capture, The High Wire Act becomes the High Wired Act, The Juggler is juggling the demands of care giving. Secret theories, mysteries and Leonard Cohen are just a few of Pollyhymnia’s passions. In this metaphysical musical, Pollyhymnia finds her way through song, memories and sheer determination. In witnessing her journey, the members of the audience are invited to consider the richness of their own experience; to celebrate their own uniqueness. Stripes is a 55-minute one-woman play with songs, minimal set and props, requiring a good sound system to run the music from a CD or iPod. Stripes encourages people to give voice to their own stories through talk-backs and acting workshops. Suitable for ages 13 and up.
