Meet Elsie, a gender-fluid twenty-something who can’t leave her tiny apartment.

 

By Alicia Battestini, with Mic Gruchy

Five people struggle to come to terms with the disappearance of the charismatic and infuriating Elsie; a gender fluid twenty-something who couldn’t leave her apartment for weeks after the death of her mother, but then one day just simply vanishes.

A collision of joyous and eccentric character performance with sumptuous imagery, Elsie for Vestri is a celebration of dress ups, fantasy, and intense physicality as a balm for grief.
