In this visceral genre-smashing collision of bold storytelling and exhilarating choreography Terndrup exhumes the bones of Mary Shelley’s horror classic reanimating them into a fiercely modern meditation on creation control and consequence. 
Part gothic horror part personal confession— inside this pulse-pounding performance is an artist in her mid-to-late 30s grappling with her conflicting desires — and fears — as she contemplates having a child. 

As she plunges into the chaos the beauty and the terror of Creation the show begins to mirror the very monster it interrogates: alive with contradictions totally unpredictable and profoundly human.

Darkly funny brutally intimate and electrifyingly physical OFFSPRING (A Modern Frankenstein) is an invitation to confront the thrill—and the cost—of bringing something new into the world whether it’s a work of art a life or something far more monstrous.
