The thing about split ends is that as soon as you cut one off, somewhere else on the head, another strand of hair will split.

Claudia, “a real tour-de-force” (ReviewsHub) is consumed by her split ends until she fell in love with an actual Vacuum, who happened to be the hairiest thing she’d ever fallen in love with. The Vacuum would shed his hairs, leave, disappear, reappear, shed, tell her he loved her, tell her he lied, leave, shed, appear, shed, malt, love, lie, cheat, shed, shed.

Claudia cut, plucked, vacuumed and hunted hairs, waiting for him to pull the plug on what they had because she couldn’t. In an exploration of coercive control, love and the addiction to people who hurt us, this five star production which is “as raw as they come…sheer inventiveness” (LouReviews) attempts to understand when we are meticulously in control or incredibly out of it.
