About this event
OFFSPRING (A Modern Frankenstein) is an electrifyingly physical dance-theatre piece that reimagines Mary Shelley's timeless tale through a fiercely personal lens. In this bold new work from director/choreographer Emily Terndrup, the story of Frankenstein transforms into an explosive exploration of creation and consequence. Pulsing with visceral movement, dark humor, and arresting imagery, the show captures the chaos, beauty, and terror of making something.
At its core is an artist grappling with an impossible question: to create or not to create? As she confronts the conflicting desires of motherhood, artistic expression, and self-preservation, the line between creator and creature blurs. Part gothic horror, part raw confession.
