The Key Said Run and the Door Said Fly
Lady Mary was young, and Lady Mary was fair, and she had more lovers than she could count on the fingers of both hands . . .
Devised by the Sacred Heart Archive, a multi-disciplinary arts project, The Key Said Run and the Door Said Fly reinvents the folk tale of Mr. Fox using physical performance, traditional songs, and found objects. Incorporating a daring use of autobiography, The Key Said Run and the Door Said Flyinvestigates issues of sexual violence, and the body’s capacity to remember. The ultimate result is a compelling picture of the relationship between freedom and fear.
