In third grade, Diana kicked her crush in the crotch and her love life didn’t improve from there. What starts as a quick look into her relationship past, turns into a comedic and heartbreakingly raw tragicomedy solo show about dating, dysfunction, and sexual devastation - told through the voices of 35+ characters.
Using flashback, narration and personification of characters in the mind, solo artist Diana Varco delivers a fast-paced, powerhouse performance filled with wit, poignancy and vulnerability, as she travels through experiences that shaped her views on sex and intimacy.
Exploring themes such as romantic partnerships, mental health, sexual agency, the power of Shame, post-traumatic growth and much more, Shattered harnesses the power of comedy to create commentary - ultimately telling the tale of one individual, picking up the broken pieces of herself and learning to live again.
