Central Collins Gallery - Performances

Duration: TBD (__ setup / takedown)

Join Speculative Drama and the Multnomah County Central Library as a fairytale world unfolds all around you with Bitter Herb: A Play in Movement. Based on the Grimm’s Brothers Rapunzel, this immersive production asks the question of what it means to be family and how we learn to let our children go. Placing the audience directly into the action and taking advantage of the unique and stunning architecture of the Multnomah County Central Library, we create a world which envelops and invites you to see this classic folktale in a new light - exploring the story’s darker themes of protection vs possession and punishment vs liberation.
