- Book Synopsis
- A riveting new play on the extraordinary love, art, and resistance of gender pioneers Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore and a finalist for the 2026 Lambda Award in LGBTQ+ DramaClaude Cahun and Marcel Moore shared an astonishing life grounded in love, nourished by art, and motivated by justice. Using a play-within-a-play structure and epic storytelling, Heartlines takes the audience through the dizzying romance of their early life together in the Parisian avant-garde - and the subsequent fracturing of that life with the rise of nazism. Identities of all kinds are explored, suppressed, and liberated as their love withstands oppression, violence, and time itself.Cast of 2 actors and 1 musician of any gender and any ethnicity
