Emerson Stage: Brazen
Brazen revolves around a mother and daughter – Cameron, the mother, is a brilliant photographer who uses fairly tales as a framework and her ever-changing daughter as a model.
Miranda, her daughter, in order to escape the claustrophobia of her upbringing, joins a funky/grunge feminist girls’ band and finds herself in trouble in part due to her mother’s work. Brazen is adapted from the French Bluebeard folk tale, wherein a powerful man destroys a series of women as a backdrop to explore questions of gender, objectification, intimacy, differentiation, and “what price art”.
