She’s Gone Away

A co-presentation by Presentation House Theatre & The Dance Centre.

October 7,8,9 at the Scotia Bank Dance Centre in Vancouver

She’s Gone Away is a theatrical tour de force conceived and created by the extraordinary performer Susanna Hood with co-composer Nilan Perera and director Jennifer Tarver. Sexuality, female power, healing, and loss of innocence are explored through the combined language of movement, song, poetic text, instrumental music, and visual design. A woman in the fragmented home of her mind battles to stay in her body, spinning through a cycle of animal states that provide both the escape from and the clues back to her integrated self. Featuring a courageous performance of absolute commitment from Hood, this physical and emotional journey throws us into the depths of voracity, bravado, dread, despair, and release.

“She’s Gone Away is superb…Hood is simply sublime in her portrayal of a woman struggling to find herself.” – Paula Citron, Classical 96.3 FM

“Explores female sexual power in a haunting visceral style… Brilliant and chilling.” – Eye Weekly, Toronto
