MFA CANDIDATE JENNY LARSON DIRECTS HEAVEN BORN WIND BY HANNAH KENAH!

In collaboration with Salvage Vanguard Theater (Jenny is a Co-Artistic Director of the Austin, Texas-based company), we’re pleased to announce the workshop performance of Heaven Born Wind by Hannah Kenah, directed by UBC MFA Directing candidate Jenny Larson.
With undercurrents of The Oregon Trail, Night of the Hunter, Hansel and Gretel, and Kafka’s Metamorphosis, Heaven Born Wind is the story of a family living a primitive life at the edges of a contemporary world.
As one family moves through a barren landscape, the individual members are simultaneously each other’s only hope and greatest threat. A hulking father refuses to hunt, and a restless mother hides the concept of Home from her exhausted children. Heaven Born Wind lives in the boundaries between safety and danger: this side of the river and the need to ford the river; the warm circle of firelight and that which roams in the darkness beyond; the need to eat and their dwindling ammunition; the need for protection, yet the strongest among them is being driven mad by the wind, the wind, the heaven-born wind.
