In the likely event of forever, elevates the art of running late to symphonic, operatic, even biblical heights.
It’s a cabaret. It’s experimental. It’s probably a mental breakdown.

Enter Margot, clutching iced latte.
Enter Margot, breathless as a femme fatale.
Enter Margot, deferential a Medieval martyr.
“Sorry I’m late.”
Exit, pursued by capitalism.

Margot is often late. What she once assumed to be the work of ancient gods trying to keep her humble has been recently diagnosed as that notoriously time-challenged creature: ADHD.
Cue hope. Cue hope getting gobbled up by months of bus replacements lol.
But this show isn’t about hope. It’s more about finding what comes before it: the energy to get out of bed. Everyday. Forever.
Forget apocalypse. How do we deal with the far more terrifying option that this world won't end and we will have to keep living in it?
In Margot’s case it’s apparently Googling “best symphonies ranked” before stealing the structure of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 15 to create an unhinged show where cities, trains, 7-11s, hotel rooms, offices, stimulants, dissociative episodes, and the impenetrable cruelty of time collapse in on each other.
Performed on a CBD rooftop as intimate as it is grand, this solo show was created in collaboration with friend and composer James Gales. Together they've created an original score of electronic, pop, classical, and grunge in an attempt to find meaning in the chaos.
