The Empty Pocket, a Dance/Theater Work

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Empty Pocket, created and performed by Heidi Carlsen, is a surreal fairytale of a woman and a heirloom peacoat.

Told through heightened imagery and poetry, the piece follows a voyage where trust turns as unpredictable as a capricious ocean, where what once felt safe becomes threatening, and where freedom is denied by authority’s version of reality. Against that fear, she crosses the forbidden line, breaking the silence and daring to speak up.

Lighting Design, Joyce Liao. Media Artist Nanda D’Agostino. Dramaturgical and Directorial support: Mary Armentrout and Belinda He.
