The international all-womxn collective It’s Us: Ophelia is currently running an online digital theatrical experience through the end of February.

Viewers choose one of three paths that leads them through a nonlinear order of all nine videos.

So, Count Mine. is a unique product of the COVID-19 era, as the artists were quarantined miles away from one another in their hometowns of Istanbul, Hong Kong and Moscow. The members of the collective took turns rotating through the roles of writer, director, performer, and sound designer. An experiment in virtual collaboration, most of the nine videos were shot in a different location than where the director was located. 

So, Count Mine. includes the following films: EN_G_A: Taking Control Over One’s Shame; YOU ARE NOT THE NIGHTMARE: A Journey to Resolve Shame; INHALE, RINSE & REPEAT: Cause of Shame; THE VANISHING ACT: Attempt to Surrender to One’s Shame; MILK MAID’S MONOTONY: The Daily Manifestation of Shame; MRS. FORGIVINGS: A Martyr of Shame; ALMOST: Impact of Shame; RUN! BURN! RUN!: The Futile Attempt to Suppress Shame; and ACE OF A: The Cause of Shame
