Magdalene

Mary is looking for love. She is also trying to write a play about Julian of Norwich, the fourteenth-century mystic who experienced erotic visions of Jesus Christ – and then withdrew from the world to record them in her book Revelations of Divine Love. As Mary consults tarot readers and follows men in the street, she learns to be braver, wilder, truer… But, will she ever find a boyfriend?

Magdalene is an autobiographical piece from writer-performer Mary Galloway, directed by Julia Locascio. Combining live sound design with psychedelic projections, Magdalene is a surreal reflection on the most universal of human experiences: the search for connection.
