ONE-WOMAN EXHIBIT
I believed every word that Meridith said. The confusion and love she felt towards her father touched me deeply, while her need to keep up appearances made me laugh out loud. Perhaps most importantly, the questions asked in the piece inspired me to quietly explore my own personal family history during the show. It is an extremely strong piece of theatre that should have the opportunity to be seen by a wide audience.
In 2022, I had the incredible opportunity to create a one-woman exhibit, thanks to winning an Emergence Artist Residency with Culture Lab LIC in Long Island City, NY. This residency provided the space and support to develop my vision and bring it to life.
The show was inspired by my desire to explore the complexities of generational trauma—how it shapes our identities, relationships, and the stories we carry forward. Through this work, I aimed to examine the ripple effects of inherited experiences, creating a space for reflection, connection, and healing.
If this resonates with you and you’d like to help bring this show to your area, I’d love to collaborate. Please reach out for more information!
BEHIND THE SPOTLIGHT
Unveiling Secrets:
Family, Trauma, and Truth.
Nothing Further examines the relationship between a daughter and father, a Vietnam veteran who lived with PTSD, and how it affected their family, the community, and subsequent generations. Based on a true story, Grundei’s one-woman multimedia performance explores secrets, family history, generational trauma, gender identity, and the need to keep up appearances.
“Nothing Further came from the police report that was filed after the investigation of my father’s death had been completed,” says Grundei. “The last two words on the report read, ‘Nothing further.’ As audiences will discover, however, there is much more to explore and investigate in this piece.”
