Beloved is a darkly humorous and sexually graphic one-woman show that leaves you asking: what are you willing to sacrifice to achieve fullness in life?
Katarina is a restless, beautiful young woman who is trapped in a mundane daily routine and a passionless relationship. She meets Adam, a celebrated conductor at a prestigious opera house and climbs the social ladder in search of an enlightened, heightened and pure reality. During their sexually graphic and passionate relationship she finds purpose through the language of artists, Schopenhauer, Barthes, Levi as well as the music of Mahler, Brahms and Rachmaninoff, while she sheds the woman she was.
Beloved depicts the challenges of a modern woman in search of herself and the shifting power dynamic that exists between Katarina and a successful older man thatshe admires. Is this a passionate love affair or a brutal game of power, gender and class?
