The Seven Event - 'The Little Matchgirl' - A Selection from LIMINAL - 2019

The Seven Event - 2019
A human rights event co-sponsored by the Human Family and the NDSU Memorial Union Gallery

As I was in the process of devising, LIMINAL, I was invited to create a stand-alone performance for The Seven human rights event.

This devised performance deconstructs Hans Christian Anderson’s fairytale, The Little Match Girl, and interlaces it with interview-based source material from aid workers that volunteered in Syrian Refugee Camps in Slovenia during 2016.

The Little Match Girl was conceived by Marc Devine, and devised by the Theatre NDSU ensemble. 
Directed by Marc Devine.
