Heartache Holiday

A puppet show for adults

Performed by Margo McCreary, Shari Aronson, Kallie Melvin

A puppet show by Margo McCreary. “I’ve been conflating my recent practice of 2D abstract art with puppetry, and am in the midst of creating a show that asks the question What is Heartening?”

Heart is fed up with the demands on her steady self and decides to venture out in search of what can bolster her in these fast-paced times. She joined a young girl who has her own heartache, and is celebrated by fellow organs. She discovers a spacious world that allows her to breathe deeply with her own imaginary nose.

Originally performed at Dreamland Arts in July, 2023.
