Et Alia Theater Presents:
BLOOD ORANGE
Blood Orange is a daring new dark comedy by Abigail Duclos.
Blood Orange tells the story of Faye, a teenage girl who, after discovering her father’s dead body, turns to God but only hears silence. As her grief becomes increasingly compounded by her mother’s neglect, Faye begins to look for salvation in the curly fur and spindly horns of a piece of nightmarish roadkill. She soon recruits Eden, her awkward semi-friend, into her new religion. Together, the girls dance, pray, sing, draw blood, and fall in love.
Blood Orange is a strange and thought-provoking horror-comedy about grief, teenage girlhood, sexuality, and the American South.

Flavius in “Poor Rich Orphan Boy,” an original song written by Abigail Duclos and Jasmine Richards
“Paints himself to look pretty for this pathetic display / He’s a shitty, cheap portrait in a million dollar frame / What he touches turns to gold, ‘fore he snorts a line of it. / While I’m living off the coins that I find in his vomit.”
Flavius in “Sippy Cup (Bloody Meat),” an original song written by Jasmine Richards and Abigail Duclos
“A sated man bastes all his pride / In how much of himself he’s eaten up. / He gobbles down the skin he’s shed, / Sips his morals with his champagne in a sippy cup.”
