i don’t have the right words for it yet

Overview

An investigation into artistic “hustle culture,” self worth, and the potentiality of lifecycles, i don’t have the right words for it yet examines the nature of performance through the world’s greatest shapeshifter: the frog. Through puppetry, movement, storytelling, and song, Shuron weaves a deft web, asking the audience and artist to question their role in performance.

 

Madeline Shuron is a participant in Philly Fringe Postcards, peer-to-peer review experiment created for the 2025 Fringe by Savannah Reich.
