Stitch is told by three women trapped in manufacturing for the oppressive fast-fashion industry. The women take on characteristics of the three Grecian Fates; each voice accompanied by the unique buzz of their sewing machines as they strive for survival in a sweat-shop environment. We present this work through a mix of prerecorded and live media.

The Three Fates pass the shared eye to Alexandra Enyart (also known as Alexis) as she performs her new piece, Witness. An organic exploration of transgender identity for voice and banjo, Alexis grapples with what it means to live ‘unseen’. She eloquently says, “60% of trans people attempt suicide and my goal is to lower that number. This project is about my personal battle to not become part of that 60%. [...] I am taking the imperfect action I can take to tell stories that can be meaningful and relevant to the audiences that see them.” Music and libretto: Alexandra Enyart Performed by: Alexandra Enyart Director: Rose Freeman Sound Designer/Audio Engineer: Matthew Peckham Stage Manager: Shelby Krarup Photography & Artwork: Tamzin Ritchie *Approximate Run Time: 50 minutes |
