Red Bead Woman

Red Bead Woman is an ancient story for a troubled time.

From the longing of an old woman and the deep roots of a mare’s tail plant is born a girl who can rebuild culture, revive relationship between the centre and the edge, the village and the forest. But to do that, she has to have a voice first. And there the journey begins.

 “A Red Bead Woman is not an ornamental title, it is defined in its doing, in-the-speaking…The collusion is not just of plant and longing but all the stunted, crazily difficult, fabulously terrible encounters we experienced as we tried to grow down into this world…to oversee such a mosh pit and coax it into something a touch more elegant.”
