No Man's Land

  • Irondale Brooklyn 85 South Oxford Street Brooklyn, NY, 11217 United States (map)

NO MAN'S LAND tells the story of a Faustian bargain made by a young farm girl during the Great Depression in Oklahoma's panhandle, exploring American desperation during the Dust Bowl: one of the top man-made climate disasters of all time.

Tilly dreams of going to college and escaping rural domestic life. She is gifted a golden locket from the family’s migrant worker, Santi, as a promise he will come back for her. When Tilly’s sister falls ill with dust pneumonia, Tilly gives away her golden heart to a suitcase farmer who promises her he can save Sissy’s soul. This bargain creates a never ending rain, until Sissy must make the ultimate sacrifice for her family.
