Ice Factory She-She-She
Ice Factory Festival 2016
New Ohio Theate
A woman struggling to survive in present day New York City meets an activist living in a 1930s New Deal forest camp for jobless women. Under the canopy of nature and through the clearings in the trees, the two strangers conjure the revolutionary strength necessary to live and love in a dangerous world.

Drawing on the poetry of Pauli Murray and visual imagery of Susan Zeeman Rogers, this epic poem, told in the voices of queer women across time and place, explores the complexities of gender, memory, history and love. Using the style of eyewitness testimonies, case studies in neuroscience, and invented poetical narratives, She-She-She, a new piece devised by Hook & Eye Theater, directed by Elena Araoz, and written by Virginia Grise, explores facets of memory.
