The Heart and Other Small Shapes
Not a story about sex and infidelity. But a story about anxiety, affection and longing, and pairs of people performing for each other and the objects around them. This short deadpan narrative is a glimpse into the lives of two children and three adults, who maximize dysfunction. Regular people keep secrets and act out intimate wants. Ultimately, this piece examines the awkwardness and specificity of human desire.
