Nora the Many is a film based on a novella of the same name, written collectively by Nora (dancers Stephanie McMann, Eleanor Sikorski, Flora Wellesley Wesley) and choreographer/performer Eleanor Bauer. It tells the story of Cindy’s Bar and its peculiar regulars: Divina the megalomaniacal performance artist, her child and faithful follower Tworden the Giant, Elba the Electric Child, and Tina the daydreaming bartender.
Zeena Parkins’ musical score and Bauer’s narration invite us on a non-linear trip through a multiverse of strange characters, with McMann, Sikorski and Wellesley Wesley’s dancing providing a polyphonic bed of rhythm and emotion. It is a surreal and humorous study of a tight knit group and the planet they live on: the vast, volatile body of a giant.
