SHE IS MY SISTER
is an interdisciplinary performance that blends movement, spoken word, and original live music to explore the power and persecution of female wisdom keepers and traditional healers. It contemplates the severing of colonial society’s connection to the sacred feminine, and the path to restore the spiritual gifts of the divine mother, sisterhood, and communion with the earth.
The work was inspired by a dream of a past life where I witnessed a dear friend burned alive for her healing practices, crying out in protest, I too was condemned. This experience revealed how the trauma of silencing feminine wisdom has imprinted into the collective consciousness of femininity, passing from generation to generation, and harming people of all genders. With this work I seek to trace the echo of that trauma across lifetimes, and honor the ways it lives in all of us.
SHE IS MY SISTER is more than a performance, it is a doorway into ancestral memory and a reclaiming of buried stories. Engaging the audience through scent, sound, movement, and text, this work seeks to open a portal to the past while calling forth a future where female wisdom is honored.
