An ironic morality play, the story of Anna who leaves Louisiana to travel across the United States intending to make her fortune and build a family home. Anna-Anna’s double nature is portrayed by a dancer and a singer; in cabaret-style song and dance with pantomime, the two performers dramatize the opposing tendencies of Anna’s nature, idealism and cynicism, generosity and meanness. As she goes from city to city (with her family onstage intoning Lutheran pieties) she betrays her art for success, love for money, justice for power.
