Stand Caridad Svich

STAND by Caridad Svich. An acoustic electric poem-play of women's rage and ancient power. On this day, another woman from the village is raped. Their name is Cassandra. A chorus of women gather 'round in support of them and in defiance of the systems in which they are told they must live. A tale of protest and the ways in which all that are made vulnerable to patriarchal power may rise and move past collective trauma. This is a play-oratorio. It is also a play-drum. This is a Santa Catalina Editions/NoPassport Press publication.
