a wild new adaptation
My Carmilla is a queer folk horror theatre piece inspired by J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s 1872 novella, reimagined through a feminist and postcolonial lens. The actors playing Laura and Carmilla will alternate roles each performance, highlighting the question: who is the predator, and who is the prey?
Spanning three centuries from colonial New England to the present day, our version of Carmilla uses movement, music, and cast doubling to convey themes of suppression versus freedom.
