Direction and performance by Secondhand Women. Mezzo is a physical and visual theater piece that is based on perceptions and prejudices that young women face. Five international women commiserate over being 30 and in-between plans, torn by expectations. This witty exploration provides a poignant and humorous look into subjects ranging from ex-boyfriends to butoh.
