Talie Melnyk

I am a writer and performer interested in women's stories. I premiered my solo show, "Maison des Reves" at 2013 FRIGID New York Festival. "Maison des Reves" is based on the true story of Alexe Popova who in 1909 Samara, Russia confessed to killing over 300 men, all known for abusing their wives and children. Through 7 characters and a narrator I tell her story of 'liberating' the women of her community.
