About the event
Who controls the narrative? What stories are we missing? What would happen in a world where those stories were told?
Artemisia's production She Was revives past and little-known stories of women and celebrates the storytellers among us today who are keeping their legacies and influences alive. These stories are sung to life with a mix of pre-existing work, arranged/composed music created by Artemisia, and five commissioned works by living female composers: Kyong Mee Choi, Hope Littwin, Rochelle Rice, Jess Godwin, and Jori Pilcher.
The power of the voice and of the storyteller is highlighted with elements of sound design using recorded interviews, archival footage, and devised writing, including closed captioning and animations that provide a visceral inquiry into our past, present, and future.
Artemisia will have newly released She Was albums and merchandise available at the show as this performance celebrates International Women's Day and an album 3 years in the making.
