When Wren arrives at the Mariposa Hotel, she is certain something bad has happened, and she will fix it by finding her sister Lottie. Yet nothing at the Mariposa Hotel moves or functions in quite the way Wren expects. Staff pops out of walls, doors lead to museums where memories stand like sculptures, people call loved ones from other dimensions, and she keeps just missing Lottie. And throughout, a writhing, pulsing, shifting mass invites her to join blissful oblivion. As Wren searches for Lottie, she revisits her life in fits and bursts, finding tenderness, bitterness, loss, and celebration in equal measure.
VOLTA is a play about love’s guiding power as we learn to let go.

The Hum is a physical theatre, ensemble-driven collective based in Philadelphia, PA. We are a femme-forward ensemble that queers traditional theater processes by celebrating non-linear entry points and narratives; we turn the story upside down to see what new insights emerge. We reject the boundaries around “genre” and “form” as absolute truths, and make urgent space for joy, play, and celebration in our practice as an act of non-compliant resistance. We draw inspiration from the queer aspects of our natural world, and from nature’s ability to adapt in the face of adversity.
