Sun 4/7 at 3pm
LENGTH OF SHOW: 90 minutes
At IRT Theater:
154 Christopher St. NYC (west of Hudson)
Buzzer 3B (third floor)
A full-length program of boundary-pushing movement art, spoken word, songs and monologues that explore gender identity, rape culture, sex trafficking, masculinity, reclaiming ones body, and getting creative about seeking consent.
*The Teens of GoodCapp Arts will perform excerpts from Katie Cappiello's widely-toured productions, unpacking topics such as rape culture, sex trafficking, consent, masculinity, and slut-shaming.
*Movement Artist/Storyteller Evelyn Lilian Sanchez Narvaez will share an original piece about obtaining the consent of a surprising partner.
*Interdisciplinary artist, facilitator and activist Raquel Almazan will perform The Virgin Stripper, a monologue from her full-length play, She Wolves, based on her experiences with rape culture. Reflecting the personal #MeToo experience of the playwright, this piece is a revolutionary call to action for women to defend themselves against their abusers in their home, work place and societies at large.
*Marcela Avelina will perform music embodying unapologetic vulnerability and empowerment through her songwriting.
Content Warning: Strong language and brief descriptions of disturbing scenarios.

IRT Theater is a grassroots laboratory for independent theater and performance in New York City, providing space and support to a new generation of artists. Tucked away in the old Archive Building in Greenwich Village, IRTs mission is to build a community of emerging and established artists by creating a home for the development and presentation of new work. Some of the artists we have supported include Young Jean Lee, Reggie Watts and Mike Daisey.
This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, New York State Council on the Arts and The Nancy Quinn Fund, a project of ART-NY.
