ECHO: A Poetic Journey Into Justice
(** A Flip The Script Theater Project event to bring awareness to the horrors of sex slavery **)
ECHO is designed as a poetic theater performance to bring awareness to the horrific circumstances surrounding sex slavery/trafficking.
The performance shines a light upon the extraordinarily similar threads which run between present day sex slavery/trafficking and past day African-American slavery. The mirror is undeniable. Life has shouted out a brutalizing echo. A vile repeat. An echo that has devastating and brutalizing effects upon our most glorious treasure....our youth.
ECHO seeks to search out the lessons of the past, bring the lessons into the future, speak to the need of restoration, and tweak hearts into action.
Featuring: Winnie Cheung, Kathryn Nichols, Grace Bognitini, Sonjay Odds-Eggleton, Kyla Shannon, Erin Lockett, Katie Gordon, and Sarai Theolinda Smith.
