Grape Culture is a 3 act tragic-comedy that has birthed a podcast, a movement, a dear friendship and a dangerously delicious healing art collaboration sweeping the nation
“Grape Culture” pulls the veil off the pervasive predatory programming that is choking us all.
We pervert the pretty by unmasking the ugly truth that "Grape" Culture is not a part of our culture, it is our culture. This comedy-driven show is penetrated by dance, film, storytelling, clowning, stand up and skits.
Healing the culture of domination without consent
The ancient Greeks understood that comedy is a mechanism of exploring tragic subjects. Shakespeare comprehended that comedy serves as means of speaking indigestible truths. Men have made comedy out of their pain since the dawn of written history. We are two women who choose to tell their stories through the language of laughter. We are not going to change "Grape" Culture through rational dialogue - it is too embedded in our bodies, hearts and nervous systems to think our way out of this paradigm. We must connect to our souls and spirits to untangle the millennia long conditioning that has brainwashed us all.
We can't think our way out of trauma, we must feel our way through it. In our show we guide you through those feels as we share our personal experiences of innocence-annihilation, and then alchemize our stories through the magic of artistic play. "Grape Culture" confronts the non-linear nature of healing, examining how we will often be met with distrust, gaslighting and victim blaming even when we engage with "safe spaces."
We are convinced that healing can occur and are willing to swim through messy waters to reach an oasis of a new paradigm.
