About Feeding on Light:
Nora is a curious writer who seeks to understand her friend and collaborator Katherine’s obsession with 20th-century French philosopher and activist Simone Weil. As their discussion deepens, Nora and Katherine embody scenes from Simone’s life in an attempt to communicate with her across time and space. Feeding on Light is based on playwright Lenora Champagne’s personal relationship and discussions with Undermain Theatre’s late Founding Artistic Director Katherine Owens, to whom the play is dedicated.
Lenora Champagne was the inaugural recipient of a $10,000 commission from the Katherine Owens/Undermain Fund for New Work in 2021 for the development of Feeding on Light. Initially a reading in our Whither Goest Thou America Festival of 2021, we are thrilled to present this as a full production on the Undermain stage in 2022.
