  FIRST LOOK SERIES *Necessary Digression Presents Fault Lines, or thisisnotmystory written by Matilda Woods directed by Taylor Valentine sound design by Leah Wilks associate produced by Olivia Rose Totaro starring Matilda Woods and Leah Wilks Get Tickets About Fault Lines Seen or not seen? Imagined or remembered? Burnt out or burnt up? Fina, a high functioning overachiever provoked by a chance encounter, grapples with an impossible choice that threatens to destroy everything. Poised, teetering, balancing… in between. What is the cost of liberation? “That’s the thing about fault lines, sometimes you don’t know you’re living on one…until you do.” Behind ‘Fault Lines’ Deep beneath the earth, fault lines are born from pressure—places where immense, opposing forces grind against each other in absolute silence until something finally snaps. In geology, this fracture triggers an earthquake. In ‘Fault Lines, or thisisnotmystory’, the fissure exists in the murky space between memory and imagination, where rage, love, shame, and desire collide. Throughout this process, words tumbled onto the page, seeking shape and story for something that, ultimately, is beyond words. But can, perhaps, be illuminated by sound and tone and vibration. This piece, which is an amalgam of many individual pieces, has evolved over nearly two years and extends the thread from an earlier work called ‘Chasing the Tides,’ which premiered at Theaterlab in 2022. Yes, and…it is an excavation of the present moment, a meditation on what it means to be unexpectedly awakened in the middle of a life. Perhaps it is also a primer for a future in which one learns to take flight… *Necessary Digression is an itinerant performance collective, a constellation of artists who cultivate intentional & accidental performative experiences that invite audiences to wrestle with difficult and inspiring material. We mine the contradictions of human experience, chase and illuminate the elusive through physical expression and find new ways of reaching spectators through live theatre and performance in traditional and unexpected environments. The collective is committed to inclusivity, community, and supportive strategies to encourage and develop artists and their work. https://necessarydigression.org
