opposites attract exists as a poem with rotating lines of text that circle into position on cue. The poem speaks about the relationship between women and men and how women’s careers are often eclipsed by men. In art history we witness male artists “rising" and female artists “setting.” The piece is theatrical - like a stage. The characters come on stage one by one and then all exit at once when the dialogue is finished.
