This Fall, Emily Michaels King will present an expanded version of her 2019 show MAGIC GIRL, bringing more depth, sparkle, and power to this beloved production.

It’s easy to forget, TOO easy for the world to make you think that the GRAY you feel is all there is. That the part of you that was there from the beginning, the shimmering core that is Always, never even existed. The world’s forgetting power is surprisingly strong. But why would it work so hard, if the shimmer inside you weren’t something much more powerful still?

MAGIC GIRL is an iridescent solo show by Emily Michaels King that refracts memory through the prism of personal history to explore inner light, loss of self, and the quest for wholeness. This equally vibrant and bold, vulnerable and deep journey travels from the shimmering world of childhood magic to the dark, sparkle-less realms of maturation where forgetting spreads and glow fades. Weaving movement, lightbeams, memoir, and nostalgia, MAGIC GIRL harnesses the power of childhood sparkle, unabashed self love, and the irrepressible fight to
reclaim your essential power,
become who you were always meant to be,
remember how TECHNICOLOR you’ve been, all along.

So grab your flashlight and a palm full of glitter because we’re on a quest to FIND RAINBOW.

Tickets will be on sale soon. Sign up for her newsletter to be the first to know details, and follow along on Instagram for glimpses into her creation process.

MAGIC GIRL is made possible by the Bridge Fund for Dance program through the City of Minneapolis Arts & Cultural Affairs Department. The production is part of Red Eye Theater’s Curated Rental program.
