The solo NO HARD FEELINGS springs from a lineage of women—real and imagined—whose powerful appearances through history have stirred dread, blame, and desire. Over time, they have been recast as “monstrous” emblems of femininity: figures to be watched, judged, and feared. The witch. Salome. The prostitute. The fatal, dangerous woman. All of them, tethered to the same primal body — the great mother from whose many arms their stories extend: Eve. In this mirror of history, each is the prototype of the next—a chain of reflections, shimmering and fractured, that lies at the heart of the solo.

In a state of constant transformation, Kirshenbaum moves through these archetypes, becoming them all. She slips between the abstract and the gestural, the collective and the personal, movement and language. Her story surfaces in the in-between — where change is perpetual, where hybrid forms take shape, where everything converges. In her own imagined garden, she dances and sings (songs she has written herself) her telling, Her-own-story, of the reality we have inherited.
