10 girls live alone in Wabansia swamp, depending on each other for protection and strength. But what lies outside of the mist-shrouded bog? When the oldest of the group goes searching for answers, she comes face-to-face with her family’s past, as well as Jenny Greenteeth, the mysterious witch who haunts the swamps. Fantasy, folklore and reality blend together as the truth is revealed, lying in wait under the soft, wet peat of the marsh.
Inspired by classical fairy tales and folklore, 10 Virgins examines the roles of storytelling, magic and gender in defining who we are. Through a blend of live action and stunning puppetry, it tells the story of Märchen, the eldest sister, and her quest for truth. A trunk full of old stories tells the girls how to properly live their lives, but with the help of Jenny Greenteeth, Märchen begins to question such notions. Will the answers she finds set her free, or will the knowledge she gains weigh her down even more? Balancing whimsy, spectacle and pathos, 10 Virgins deftly explores what it means to find our way in the world, and what consequences come from the paths we choose.
