PhxFringe - THE OPHELIA PROJECT
The haunting image of Ophelia, so young and beautiful floating amongst the willows in a glassy stream stirs the imagination. The proximity of beauty, madness, and suicide is fused in the archetypal character of Ophelia, the young beauty, driven from reason to madness and finally to suicide, escaping the maelstrom of the dark forces that surround her. Using the archetypal figure of Ophelia, The Ophelia Project excavates and unravels the delicate balance between women, madness, and suicide through a multimedia physical theatre investigation. Weaving a collection of poems, historical texts, and journal entries of renowned poets Anne Sexton, Sylvia Plath and Virginia Woolfe, who tragically took their own lives and wrote prolifically about the daily struggle and agony between life, death and madness, the Ophelia Project walks the tightrope between these realms, aiming to illuminate the poetry of being in-between: life and death, madness and reason.
