Part of the 2024 New Works Festival | Original Plays written and directed by the 2023-2024 Incubator/Mentor Cohort
WRITTEN BY JOURDAN IMANI KEITH | DIRECTED BY REBECCA O'NEIL
The first part of a trilogy telling the story of Virginia Mary, an enslaved African American woman transformed after her death by an unquiet and demanding dybuuk. Virginia Mary’s trauma haunts her descendants throughout time. Through her voice and vignettes of women in her family, this choreopoem, rooted in dance, music, and the lineage of African American narratives, explores the connections between the stories and histories our bodies tell, demanding an answer to the question, “What are they doing with our uteruses?”

Each play is approximately 60 minutes. There will be a minimum 15-minute intermission between performances. The audience will be asked to step out of the theatre to allow the crew to re-set the stage for the next show in the festival.
