Spirited is a promenade theatre performance exploring C12 adventure author Marie de France’s unconventional protagonists:

a youth uninterested in love and exploring gender identity.
a woman who says something she regrets.
a successful professional who's a closet werewolf three days a week.

Developed in the summer of 2021, C21 viewers explored the C12 adventure writer’s narratives in three groups, dwelling at each performance portal for 15 - 20 minutes before adventuring on to the next. Thus the epic journeys conjured in Marie de France’s short stories were imagined in a vivid viewer experience.

Marie de France is considered England’s earliest female adventure author, writing 1160 - 1180. Her work was popular in England during her lifetime.
