"I will look back on seeing SKIN as the turning point in my journey to heal."--University of Georgia student
"Ive never met anyone who ...with such kindness and gentleness ...told their story so raw. It was incredibly beautiful and I dont think Ill ever feel alone in this again.--Dutchess College student
Frank and funny, this queer love story with music by #HealMeToo Festival Founder and Artistic Director Hope Singsen explores the confusing and creative process of reclaiming intimacy after childhood and young adult sexual violence.
With music by Hope Singsen, Bob Parins, Micah Burgess and Dillon Kondor.
In SKIN, two things threaten Marais' dissertation on Virginia Woolf: her hot new girlfriend and her own dark past. Confronted by echoes of sexual violence in Woolf's text, grad student Marais races to write herself into a happier future. Her work grows inventiveeven sensual experience becomes a medium for discovery as she strives for a love greater than any she's known before. But after you learn to guard against life, can you open up again?
"Empowering. Inspiring. Funny! A critically important topic handled sensitively and creatively."--Exec. Dir. NYC Dept of Education Counseling & Support Program
"SKIN left me speechless. It is such a powerful exploration of self, touch, time, and healing. It took my breath away.--Vassar student
There is something truly magical in the way youve managed to combine love, hardship, passion, and memory into art. SKIN was one of the most engaging and honest shows Ive ever seen.--Vassar student
"Tender, playful, clever, and nuanced I highly recommend SKIN for anyone who has confronted trauma or cares about someone who has."--Zoe Ridolfi-Starr, Columbia University Co-Founder of No Red Tape with Mattress Performance hero Emma Sulkowicz
Beautiful, moving, raw, and real. As complex, layered, and deeply investigated as anything Woolf wrote. I feel lucky I saw this.
Brian McManamon, guest director at the Juilliard School
I was healed by honesty. Grateful for the experience.
--Audience member
