A dance theater piece that tells the story of the lives of the Brontë sisters—Charlotte, Emily, and Anne—whose novels changed the course of English literature and shattered society's expectations of what women writers were capable of. The piece uses language, music, and dance to explore the expansive imaginations of these revolutionary women.
