IMPRINTS

IMPRINTS explores the ghosts of our ancestral past by imagining them as existing within our genetic memory. It is a play about the thousands and thousands of strangers that make up our lineage and how their experiences are manifested in our instincts, fears and dreams.

Lily is haunted. Her body is overrun with ghosts. They surreptitiously influence all aspects of her life. She does not even know they are there. Until she meets them face-to-face. Imprints is the fantastical story of Lily, a woman haunted by the ghosts of her ancestors. While undergoing an experimental procedure, she is inadvertently transported down a very peculiar rabbit-hole. Here she encounters the ghosts of her genealogical past and discovers alarming keys to her present.
