"You may not remember how it feels to be fifteen. Or perhaps, for some, the blooming begins at a different age. But I became still at fifteen and opened inside like an anemone. I was that quiet, too."
Narrow Girls on a Blue Profound Stage follows a young ballerina’s obsession, and sometimes reckless passion, for her art and her unlikely lover. Focusing on three transformative years, Narrow Girls traces the alchemy of sisterhood, first love, and coming-of-age on the stage.
Performing with a troupe of dancers ten years her senior, Anneliese develops a slow-burn attraction to the ballet company's seamstress, Rebecca. Bucking all that stands in her way, she defends her place at the barre, her place in the family, and her freedom to love.
