About the Show

Follow an unreliable teenage narrator and her Red Monkey sidekick into the afterlife as she muses over the disappearance of her fellow Victorian-era orphans and what it’s like to be dead. This David Lynchian-esque solo show from poet and performance maker Talya Rubin uses spirit photography, mediumship, and projections, as Rubin explores her brushes with the beyond in a frenzied, non-linear narrative.

Part encounter, part gothic horror, At the End of the Land is a highly aesthetic, uncanny investigation into the things we cannot explain.
