The Circle Project
What Fools These Mortals Be
An inventive retelling of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream performed as a series of tableau vivants (living pictures) by a group of formerly incarcerated women.
The project is a collaboration between The Circle Project and Vancouver artist Adad Hannah.
The Dreaming
The Dreaming is an interactive audio documentary that provides an intimate encounter with formerly incarcerated women as they recount their dreams.
The dreams were recorded during the production of What Fools These Mortals Be.
The Circle
The Circle is a creative documentation of a storytelling circle held in Vancouver with a group of formerly incarcerated women. Some had just been released and were living in halfway houses, some had been outside for several years, all had a story to tell.
Lockdown
Lockdown weaves zoom conversations with 6 formerly incarcerated women who offer advice on how to survive a lockdown. They put current government-imposed restrictions into perspective, and model how resilience, humour (and puppy love) can get us through this.
