A shared reverie, just as much as it is a quarrel, between two generations and two experiences of art, of life.

THE MOVING COMPANY is pleased to announce Steven Epp and Vinora Epp’s devised collaboration of ORLANDO: A Rhapsody, directed by Vinora Epp.

A father and daughter step onstage to tell their own entwined story through the words of Virginia Woolf—Orlando, The Waves, A Room of One’s Own—and through themselves. What begins as play, dress-up, and shared memory grows into a rhapsodic duet where language, movement, and imagination collide. Like children inventing a world in their living room, or seasoned actors sparring over Shakespeare, they slip between Woolf’s poetry and their personal histories.
As one becomes Orlando young, the other Orlando old, their dialogue unfolds across centuries, genders, and selves. The piece wrestles with Woolf’s great questions—what it means to be, how stories shape identity, and why fiction matters—while revealing the intimate bonds and fractures of family. Both fanciful and raw, Orlando: A Rhapsody is less a retelling than a living conversation with Woolf, with each other, and with the audience.

Press performances are: Thursday, November 6th and Friday, November 7th at 7:30 p.m.
