The body's participation in the joyous communion of the soul with divinity can be seen in Praise House. The story is built on an exploration of a child's visions, which urge her to express her spiritual life by drawing pictures. As in her other pieces, Zollar emphasizes the search for a personal mode of communication with the spirit world. Praise House is inspired by the real-life story of Minnie Evans, an artist whose visions and communing with angels and spirits made her a "problem child" for her mother, who was caught in the throes of reality and the struggle for survival. Praise House is structured in two acts, "Gifting" [video clip] and "Draw or die" [video clip]. The cast consists of three central characters: Hannah, the young girl who is visited by spirits and inspired by them to draw; her mother; and her grandmother, the elder Hannah, who also enjoys a communion with the spirits and is her granddaughter's soul mate. The rest of the characters are denizens of the spirit world and often are the externalizations of Hannah's thoughts and feelings. Though Granny has passed away by the second act, she lives on in Hannah's mind, a powerful presence in her granddaughter's spiritual field. It is, in fact, Granny's spirit who guides Hannah toward a realm where these contradictory worlds can meet, where living and dying can be considered in terms of an infinite continuum.
