Inspired by Robert Altman’s 1977 film, 3 WOMEN is a dreamlike investigation of personality and identity through the perspective of three women in a dusty California town. This atmospheric, character-driven piece combines video, sound, and movement to create an uncanny world, invoking both humor and terror, to tell the story of lost souls in the process of reinvention.
