Born before history - before even the gods - in the house of stars, ANA is a strange and wondrous being. She is a delight and a terror. An abomination, a deity, a freak and the star of our carnival show. ANA is not bound by the same laws that govern the lives of us mere mortals.

When this creature is caught in the mouth of inescapable decision she deceives fate by splitting into a new self, multiplying at every crossroad, escaping her own terror to survive, to be free. But the selves she leaves behind still exist and go on living to this day. Now, completely overcome and bewildered by her many incarnations, ANA must face her selves to reconcile her countless existences.

This daringly bilingual play takes audiences on a journey of creativity and madness. Combining the rhythms of Scots- English with Canadian-French, ANA dissolves barriers between languages to explore a space that words alone cannot describe.
