ABOUT THE PROJECT:
Shae Myles’ “Hush lil baby” is taking inspiration from the world of the 1990s Polly Pocket compacts to investigate play theories, femme aesthetics, secrets, obsession, and consumer culture. Shae wants to invite you, the audience, to explore with her.
- How do we carry childhood play memories into adulthood?
- What role does escapism and nostalgia play in contemporary culture?
- Do you remember what it felt like to create your own play-world?
