Fight, Flight and Freeze

In this candid solo performance, Hannah Tarr invites the audience to travel through her calendar of firsts, lasts, loves and traumas. Following the #MeToo movement and our nation’s mental health crisis, Fight, Flight and Freeze examines the effects of trauma with unapologetic earnestness. Sprinkled with medical anecdotes, Tarr’s electric storytelling leads us on a gripping journey as she finds the tools and coping strategies to face the world as a survivor.
