Holyoke City Hall
On Thursday, May 18th, 2017 at 6:30pm at Holyoke City Hall, Womanshelter/Compañeras and Survivor Theatre Project (STP) are coming together to create a community space for survivors and allies to experience a powerful performance of “ROAAARRR! A Beautiful Anger” and engage in open dialogue about the cycles of violence in the western Massachusetts area. This evening, we will join in community to uplift a message of resistance and resilience for survivors of domestic and sexual abuse.
STP’s Touring Company performance, “ROAAARRR! A Beautiful Anger” is a show that connects music, percussive rhythms, spoken word, and raw emotion to encourage audiences to reflect on how sexual violence survivors thrive in a world that attempts to silence our rage. Womanshelter/Compañeras Community Educator, Carmen Nieves shared that “our collaboration with STP is an extension of our mission to bring awareness and healing to communities. STP is not just a valued partner, they enrich and enhance the work that Womanshelter/Compañeras does.”
Tickets at the door on a sliding scale, no one will be turned away for lack of funds. No advance tickets. For event information contact STP Company Manager at info@survivorthreatreproject.com
Performance Description: A collection of poetry, rhythm, monologue and movement that ruptures the confines of victimhood and illuminates a spirit that cannot be broken. In a society struggling with sexual violence as an epidemic, these survivors define what true protection means, and galvanize our communities from art to action.
