SHE OF THE VOICE
A lime green thong. A bottle of rum. And a really loud voice.

adapted by Eliza Bent
directed by José Zayas

July 7, 8, 9 and 10 at PS 122 at 7.30pm

She of the Voice, Eliza Bent’s adaptation of award-winning author Hari Kunzru’s short story “Magda Mandela,” simmers with video, dance, soundscape + song. A Greek chorus of urbanites dwell alongside the larger-than-life Magda, whose constant preaching and outrageous, vigilante antics provide a wealth of gossip—and headaches—for her fellow citizens. Magda may parade around in a lime green thong. She may offer up endless aphorisms and declare herself kin to Nelson Mandela. Yet her calls to arms—though observed—for the most part, remain ignored. Is Magda a wise fool or crazy neighbor? In a world of apathy, can community exist if no one listens? Though comedic in tone, at the heart of She of the Voice is an exploration of human fellowship.
