Heartburn

Two women face the truth of the dissolution of the European egalitarian dream. Everywhere they look things are not equal; in the taxi at the end of the night, on the bench in the middle of a village, in the congregation, in the boardroom, in the home. They tell stories of abortion, sing about violence and dance about menopause. They remember the lies they were told as children and question the hope that things might be different for future generations. The performance uses puppetry, comedy, song, text and movement to create a hybrid, humorous and powerful perspective on being a woman in Europe today. Performed in English, Polish & Spanish with English surtitles www.heartburnwomen.com www.cosmino.org
