Four Sisters TRAILER

After surviving centuries of war, displacement, and an on-going plague, Sarah's built a life for herself and the four orphaned girls she's raising in 'The Skirts' -- a ghettoized community, outside the City. When a doctor's suspicion that the girls are plague-carriers comes to light, Sarah must choose between an experimental new plague drug for her children, or no treatment at all.

EPISODE 1

Sarah struggles to raise her grown up daughters, now in their 20's, as each one fights for independence from her, each other, and the legacy of plague and loss that haunts their lives. The altercations between The Skirts and City police reach a divisive breaking point in the war on drugs.

EPISODE 3

Four Sisters is the final instalment of The Empire trilogy, a collection of stories that weave together 500 years of abstracted history through live performance, graphic novels, and podcasts. In our last story, The Scavenger’s Daughter, which took place 259 years ago, we left The Empire cannibalizing its ruins and re-enter it now as its ‘democratic’ rule attempts to cure its social plagues: biological, economic, and narcotic. Four Sisters follows Sarah, a woman who has defied death, who is living on the margins and raising a family of girls orphaned by the women she once employed. When a mysterious plague breaks out, a strange doctor arrives and discovers that the girls are plague-positive, Sarah must choose between treating the girls with an experimental new drug or no treatment at all.
