Applying balloon work, master level pool noodling, and deep emotional gorging, Grief Cheeks ventures into the absurdist deconstruction of social norms and rituals surrounding death and healing. The audience enters into the world of the Foolbrights through a “chant” that is part 1970s disco and part metaphor for grief, and then find themselves in a classic aerobic/jazzercise session reimagined for the grieving mind and body: The Grief Cheeks Workout.  How close are the sounds of keening and fits of laughter when pool noodles come into play? What's the edge of acceptable expression in a public space? In Grief Cheeks, the Foolbrights examine the highs, the lows, and all emotions in between, then let go in a romp of celebration.
