To support this movement Eve Ensler´s award-winning play ´The Vagina Monologues´ is going to be staged by V-day Nepal at Nepal Academy Hall, Kamaladi on March 7, from 6 p.m. onward. [break]
V-day has taken ´Change the Story of Women´ as a slogan. The even will present a play of one of Eve Ensler´s Monologues, "Any One Of Us (AOOU): Words From Prison", a short documentary celebrating W-O-M-E-N, and a grand finale choir performance.
AOOU is a collection of stories from the raw voices of fierceness and honesty written by 15 women combined with writing from women in prisons across USA moving forward toward healing, understanding, and changing with the ultimate goal of using their writing and voices to impact policy, laws and treatment of imprisoned women. The script is entirely foretold by women locked up behind bars after numerous interviews.
The play is directed by Eelum Dixit, and includes five actors including Seema Gurung, Arabinda Subedi and Lucy Sharma who will try and bring life to those women´s honest and sincere heart-wrenching stories. In the play, they will also try to reveal the deep connection between women in prison and the violence that often brings them there.
The event is a not-for-profit charity show. The funds generated by the event will be contributed to Biswas Nepal, a strong local group working against women and girls trafficking and abuse.
The tickets cost Rs 1000 and are available at The Bakery Café, New Srinath Jewellers (New Road) and Lhasa Restaurant (Thamel).
