The Women of ___ (a song not song)
Feb 13-17, 2019 | Oscar G. Brockett Theatre at UT Austin
Co-created by kt shorb & the ensemble and I-Chia Chiu
Inspired by Euripides' THE WOMEN OF TROY, the play invites the audience to join a group of nameless ghosts on a multilingual journey through poems and tales, to restore dead memories, to trace linguistic and cultural annihilation and to speak for the silenced voices in history. As a partially-devised work collecting the voices of historically marginalized people, the play explores trauma, political wars and our personal wars against ourselves.
