Something’s Got Ahold of My Heart

A performance in three movements, Something’s Got Ahold Of My Heart created an onstage space where tumultuous and tender feelings of love hang thick in the air and six performers lay their bodies down and fight to keep their love alive. Drawing from interviews, found text, and seminal concert footage, Something’s Got Ahold Of My Heart wrestles with our desire to craft the perfect declaration of love, and the tension between the ideal and the reality of long-term commitment.
