Aphrodisia

Marsh founder, solo performance impresario Stephanie Weisman, who has nurtured hundreds of writer/performers at her San Francisco “breeding ground for new performance,” unveils her own work in Aphrodisia, a tender muse on embracing intimate and sometimes painful love and life, while perched in a house on stilts above a teeming marsh.

Using music, dance and the spoken word, Aphrodisia is a sometimes funny, sometimes discomforting meditation on love, life, creativity and betrayal. The performance describes a woman’s conflicting emotions as she wonders whether to have a child at the same time that she is striving to become an artist while living under the tutelage of a master painter on Delaware Bay.
