Petra

Half Straddle presents a work-in-progress showing of PETRA‌, the company’s new adaptation of Fassbinder’s play, which follows a fashion designer living in self-imposed isolation whose world unravels when she falls obsessively in love with a beautiful young model named Karin.‌ ‌As their relationship shifts and fractures,‌ Petra’s emotional control slips. Set entirely in Petra’s apartment, the story unfolds like a psychological chamber piece—intimate, intense, and laced with both cruelty and love.‌
