Directed by Manuel Lavandera
A new multimedia play about aspiring to be a singer while growing up in a place where it is forbidden for women to sing.
‘Did I get used to repression, or is music my way of fighting?’
Sara stands at a crossroads with her child, questioning whether she is ready to overcome this new change in a world where others still decide about our bodies and voices.
How does a woman who has experienced first-hand repression of her body and voice now react as her child struggles with their own gender identity?
Co-presented with Seemia Theatre.
