Unsewn
Fri 25 Oct 2024 6:30 PM - 7:20 PM
Westminster Kingsway College - Theatre, WC1X 8RA
Description
Unsewn follows Durga and Eva, two women confronting patriarchal oppression. Durga works in an Eastern factory under harsh conditions, while Eva suffers domestic abuse in the West. Eva's abusive partner offers her a gift of apology—the same dress produced by Durga—and as soon as they wear the magical dresses made from the same fabric, they meet in a limbo possibly created by Goddess Kali. They share their experiences and despite initial solace, reality intrudes. Yet, they persevere, transforming together, symbolizing women's resilience and solidarity as seen in Indian Mythologies.
Through powerful storytelling and symbolism, Unsewn explores the strength found in unity against adversity.
This event is for those aged 16+.
