shaniqua in abstraction

The World Premiere of an intrepidly daring one-woman show, “shaniqua in abstraction” is a new play written and performed by bahia watson (The Handmaid’s Tail, Uncle Vanya). The action follows an actor as she responds to a casting call and slips into a musing multiverse of narratives. With a sinuous poetic style and interweaving perspectives, watson brings her razor-sharp humour, vaulting imagination, and piercing cultural critique to a kaleidoscopic explosion that spins you into a big, black hole called: shaniqua.
