Theater Productions
by Lisa Citore
Edge-pushing and enlightening as her stand-up, Lisa’s theatrical productions interweave poetry, music, and dance to create multi-layered artistic collaborations that are as ceremonial as they are theatrical. Through juxtapositional play—with themes such as beauty and vulgarity, the sensual and the sacred, shadow and light—every performance becomes a transformational experience for all, not least of all for the director herself.
I see creativity as the antidote for war. The law of nature is balance. Destructive and creative forces are polar opposites. When one polarity is lacking the other must compensate. If you want peace on earth, create, create, create.
