ANIMA offers a gritty depiction of an interdependent and ultimately destructive relationship by illustrating the poisonous results of living one's life for someone else. Ella, trapped by expectations of the men surrounding her, struggles to free herself from a volatile relationship with Vlad, a parasite reliant on her for his emotional survival. When James, a shaken Iraq war veteran arrives at Ella and Vlad’s apartment needing a place to stay, a violent power struggle between the three explodes on stage.
