SPACE and Portland Ovations are proud to co-present the premiere of Maine-based performance artist Sara Juli's "Burnt-Out Wife," ahead of a New England tour. The work tackles the taboo and urgent social topic of struggling marriages. Sharing personal stories of societal expectations about separation, sex deprivation, communication, lawyers, marriage counselors, and the ultimate question: "Do I stay or do I go?", Juli's evening­ length solo uses her signature methods of raw exposure and discovery through movement, comedy, song, audience interaction, and new media components. "There will be a bachelorette party. There will be wedding cake. There will be singing. There will be tears."
