The Sisters of Eve
David Hancock
Artist BioIn collaboration with his partner, Nan Hanway, David Hancock created The Sisters of Eve, an interactive theatrical event about a New England town that disappeared. The central character is a dwarf hermaphrodite and crackpot historian who claims she is the sole survivor of a hurricane that destroyed the town of Little Pleasant Bay. She travels with a portable museum trying to prove Little Pleasant Bay did exist. During the performance audience members can choose to follow different narrative paths.
