Heap Cull Gather Sow
Directed by Muhkerjee
Words & Music by Sarah M. Greer

Sarah M. Greer’s “Heap Cull Gather Sow” is a ceremonial journey through grieving, ancestral guidance, and heart memory carried by tears and talismans, movement and memory, stories and songs. Sourced from intuition and melody, “Heap Cull Gather Sow” asks how we hold loss and sorrow from the present and the past and from where we garner the resources to re-imagine and re-member ourselves.

…

This one-woman show is my solo theatrical debut. I created Heap Cull Gather Sow as part of a 7-month fellowship program called Naked Stages at Pillsbury House + Theater in South Mpls. Since May, I and my fellow artists (we are a cohort of four) have met to attend workshops and share our in-progress works with each other as we each developed a 30-40 minute piece on a subject of our choosing.

My piece was/is informed by the vocal and community work I did on my Giving Voice to Grief project earlier this year and how I am currently working to hold and transmute my own grief about so many of our present day tragedies, here in Minneapolis and around the world. I’ve even written some new songs for the show.

I am excited (and maybe a little nervous 😉🤷🏽‍♀️) to share this work with you.

There are 6 evenings  of Naked Stages showings (Thur-Sat, Nov 14-16 and 21-23) and my work will be part of three of them. I share my performance evenings with hal sansone (Trans Man Gay Club Disco Fantasy, directed by Cat Hammond). Atim Opaka’s (This body is a gift: Messages from the Ancestors, directed by Leah Nelson) and Skye Reddy’s (The Field of Three Horizons, co-directed by Aamera Siddiqui and Suzy Messerole) shows will perform on the other three nights. (Nov 14, 16 and 22).
