Three women unravel their girlhoods, idols and ideals in a dream-like and nostalgic narrative. THE GENTLE ART OF PUNISHMENT is for anyone who has ever had a crush on their therapist – or thinks that Drew Barrymore is under-appreciated in her dramatic roles.

Through an interdisciplinary performance of contemporary dance, striking sound design, and theatre, this piece presents a visceral experience of trauma theory, crisis, and obsession from the all-femme/queer artists that make up the collective: Daughter Product.
