"theodora and the flood" 2020 & 2021
“Theodora and the Flood” analyzes the political attitude of the flood by comparing the presence of feminine residence to abhorrent bodily fluids. A bard/destiny-wielder tells a tale from the perspective of the pustulous stable master of Lady Godiva; we hear a first hand account of their romantic relationship and engagement in political actions.
".....I mean, call it a delusion of grandeur, but if I were to jiggle myself around a bit, stick two digits down my gullet, and upchuck a bathtub or two, you would take a step back. And when you step back I will step forward and if you were to step forward I will also step forward. THIS is what it means to flood."
