Anima: Island Shakespeare Festival
July 24, 2025 @ 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Island Shakespeare Festival Presents Anima July 24 – August 30 Written by Amelia Pincherle Rosselli. Produced in partnership with Expand the Canon. Directed by Emily Lyon.
The art world is rarely considered the intersection of passion and propriety. But painter Olga de Velaris finds herself at just that crossroads, testing the limits of how much she can express. In 1890’s Rome, she is surrounded by women who must navigate the tightrope of reputation, desire, and survival. Anima is a powerful, rarely staged drama that lays bare the tension between self-determination and the longing for connection, revealing that love—when truly seen—does not have to mean surrender. Step into this quirky, disarming, and award-winning play for an examination of who we’re really seeking.
This season, fearless women defy the status quo, rewrite the rules, and prove that love and selfhood are not a choice—they’re a revolution.
This performance will take place at the outdoor Island Shakespeare Festival Stage. 5476 Maxwelton Rd, Langley, WA 98260
