Split My Soul

Split My Soul, an original dance-theater production by Kelsie Steil, explores the conflict and integration between seven complex characters: The People's Jester, Lady Martyre, Fizzy Head, Mystery Man, Twisted Mistress, The Kid, and Your Inevitable Death. These characters work with and against one another, exposing their inner stories and perils, and navigating locally crafted set pieces such as stairs, walls, and a plethora of ropes. Split My Soul provides a cathartic visual and sonic experience to unpack mental health challenges and scenarios. Steil believes the theatrical embodiment of internal characters and external archetypes can help heal relationships, build empathy for the attributes and tendencies of ourselves and others, and shift perspectives towards the people and stories of our lives.
