Their hero (anti-hero) is any woman whose actions, creations, or philosophy altered their perception of personal agency, ranging from fictitious characters and family members to historical figures. The object could be anything from a book, work of art, photograph\u2026 Based on these responses, music and text are written, and a new narrative is constructed. <em>EVE<\/em> is finally the protagonist of her own story.<\/p>\n<p>A solo performance that is as individual as collaborative and ranges from a cast of family members that includes poet Sophie Podolski, filmmakers Chantal Akerman and Maya Deren, writers Marguerite Duras and Susan Sontag, frontierswoman Calamity Jane, mythological queen of Ithaca Penelope, ecological activist Julia Butterfly, architect Denise Scott Brown, painter Alice Neel, and literary evergreen Pippi Longstocking.
