Inspired by Ursula K. Le Guin’s short story, Sur follows a daring 1909 expedition to Antarctica led by a group of women determined to witness the South Pole for themselves. In an era when such a journey was unthinkable for women, they set out in secrecy, navigating treacherous waters, hauling sledges across ice, and scaling towering glaciers. Their mission is bold, their determination unwavering—but what they find, they vow never to reveal. Presented as a factual account, the story blurs the line between history and possibility.

Now, in 2025, our ensemble of women brings this remarkable journey to life, transforming the Ellen Stewart Theater into a vast, frozen world of ice and endless horizons. Experience the beauty and brutality of Antarctica in this immersive theatrical event.
