Wait! She Waits!

Solo performance | Created and performed by Heidi Carlsen

Chicago 2025

A woman sets a celebratory table for friends who don’t arrive. As she waits, the pressures of domesticity and of being a foreigner in a foreign land weigh on her, and the line between what is real and what is imagined starts to blur.

Presented by No Nation Art Lab, Chicago, 2025, with support from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and LOWRES.
