Performance Artist Sara Juli

Please join Falmouth-based Performance Artist Sara Juli for a showing of her newest dance-theater comedy, Burnt-Out Wife.

Falmouth-based dance-theater-comedic artist, Sara Juli will present a work in progress showing of her newest feminist solo, Burnt-Out Wife. Taking on topics such as monogamy, intimacy, loneliness, and other marital taboos, Juli employs her physical and comedic talents to explore autobiographical issues of importance to all women. This work includes movement, text, stand-up comedy, props, audience interaction and cake all while blowing-up the institution of marriage with humor, reflection and a total reimagining.
