You/Emma

You/Emma has been described as a “postmodern fever dream of Madame Bovary,” where Flaubert's 19th century proto-feminist masterpiece collides with retro Americana and a future that's female. Emma Bovary’s voracious desire cracks the facade of domestic life, unleashing a flood that challenges the constructs of femininity. You/Emma, a one-woman show written by Paz Pardo and conceived and performed by Valerie Redd, originated at New York City's Wandering Bark Theatre Company and won an Outstanding Solo Performance award at the 2018 New York Innovative Theater Awards.
