In the Name of Forgotten Women bears witness to the global
oppression of women and testifies to their resilience. Inspired by real-life
incidents in over 15 countries, this dramatic work features the individual and
collective voices of seven diverse women, culminating in a powerful call to
action. Dramatizing poetry with music, movement, ritual, and projection,
this dynamic “choreopoem” is, in essence, a ceremony to restore the Feminine in
the world. (2022, 90 mins)
