Rhoda Miller
RHODA MILLER is a devastating portrayal of a multi-personality disorder case in the contemporary universal context. It explores myriad and provocative feelings of characters around each other. The production is set in an expressive confined setting of a Cathedral, that appears as surreal, timeless, and ageless to enhance the philosophical exploration of existentialism and a struggle with the definition of mental illness. Thematically, the production revolves around gender, psychology, violence and religion. The authenticity of the performance lies in how expressive and minimalistic movement is used to help reach beyond what might be considered ‘a damage.’
