a documentary theater exploration of oldest sisterhood
ABOUT THE PROJECTELDEST DAUGHTER ELEGY stems from a cascade of questions about what it means to be part of a family. Woven from a series of generously shared stories of eldest daughterhood, it asks: where did we come from, and what comes next?
THE STORYChildhood is supposed to be heaven on Earth. Families are supposed to be perfect. Eldest daughters are supposed to be shining examples of excellence. But some families are complicated, sometimes being a kid isn’t idyllic, and some eldest daughters need a hug. Eldest Daughter Elegy travels between the last hurrah of an 80s summer camp and a woman’s attempt to reconstruct her history, all the while complicating the notion of family and calling to the lost, lonely heart of first born girls.
