About the Project

"Fringe at its best. A PEACOCK IN THE RUBBLE is an absolute triumph. The piece is tightly crafted, emotionally resonant, and utterly engaging — a masterclass in personal storytelling."

"Watching this show feels like making a friend. Marissa does not miss a beat, she tells her story with clarity and, most importantly, honesty."

"Marissa takes challenging topics like grief, OCD, and deep sadness and turns them into art."

Have you ever felt like you weren’t normal? Like everyone else seemed to know a secret to life that you never got wind of? If so, A Peacock In The Rubble is a show for you. Marissa has struggled with debilitating OCD most of her life. It affected her career, love life, her relationships with others and especially her relationship with herself. The show is told through a collection of past heartfelt recordings, home videos and Marissa herself. Come on this messy life journey filled with outdated pop culture references, a plethora of OCDs and the knowledge that you’re not alone in your struggle. None of us are.
