Tracy Crisp: Pearls
In the search for a string of pearls, a daughter travels to her abandoned childhood home and a mother travels from Port Pirie to Paris without ever leaving home. Memories are ignited, then questioned. Fractures deepen until finally a heartbreaking but healing truth is revealed. A profound lesson in what it really means to live each day is if it were your last. 'Pearls' will make you laugh, then cry, then laugh again.
A very limited return season of this acclaimed show, performed in the intimate setting of Mrs Harris' Shop to accompany the powerful, contemplative visual arts work 'Pearls (Unstitched)'.

Presented by: Tracy Crisp
I’m presenting 3 shows: ‘Stitches’; ‘Pearls (Unstitched)’; and a very limited return season of my performance show, ‘Pearls’. Each show stands alone, but I love to weave connections between all my work. I also love to create shows that offer the full emotional journey, from laughter to tears and back again. In ‘Stitches’, I’ll be telling you the story of my sewing journey, while I finish a new dress every night. And not just any dress, the dress I want to wear to my funeral. In something completely different, a visual arts show, ‘Pearls (Unstitched)’. Thirty years after my mum died, I unstitched my wedding dress then stitched the text of my play, Pearls, onto the dress. One of the most enriching experiences of my life. Accompanied by a limited season performing 'Pearls' in the galleryReviews
