Description
Developed as part of The Kennedy Center's Local Theatre Residency program at the Reach in the division of Social Impact, When Birds with Broken Wings Fly is a solo performance piece that explores the spiritual, mental and physical journey of black women when the world negates and exploits their "Black Girl Magic." Inspired by the working documentary, "The Myth of the Black Superwoman" and the book, "In a Field Full of Lavender Trees", this production is a compilation of mixed media, monologues, poetry, song, dance and music that travels through the challenges and triumphs of black women navigating a world that often imitates their essence while erasing their existence. From stories of self-awareness, relationships, family and independence to moments of grief, healing and joy, this piece aims to provide a safe space that elevates the voices of black women while reclaiming their sovereignty, divinity and power.
