SYNOPSIS

The Mirror Effect presents Amanda Reis, a self-searching female writer who
explores her inner life through language and disguise. Her story is
inspired by the lives and work of other female artists (Sylvia Plath,
Virginia Woolf, Anne Sexton, Marylin Monroe, etc.). Her poetic monologue is
an astronaut’s shout in space, a place where sound waves can’t travel. She
is a clown afraid of clowns, an actress trying to free herself from her
persona.
