Description

Today, we're setting up Ellpetha Tsivicos, a Cypriot-American artist, performer, director, author, filmmaker, and singer, who says her home is on stage. Her production company, One Whale’s Tale, creates maximalist work that blends music, dance, film, food and narrative storytelling — turning plays into multidisciplinary performances. Two recent books she loved were Song of Achilles + Island of Missing Trees, and she’s down for classic or modern books.
