Coming to the CoHo Stage in March of 2022, join us for In the Name of Forgotten Women, an original new work from Cindy Williams Gutiérrez.
In the Name of Forgotten Women bears witness to the global oppression of women and testifies to their resilience. Inspired by real-life incidents in over 15 countries, this dramatic work features the individual and collective voices of seven diverse women, culminating in a powerful call to action. Dramatizing poetry with music, movement, ritual, and projection, this dynamic “choreopoem” is, in essence, a ceremony to restore the Feminine in the world.

A Note from the Playwright-Producer
“When my poetry collection Inlay with Nacre: The Names of Forgotten Women was selected for publication, the voices in the book would not stop talking to me. Each night as I lay my head on the pillow, I could hear them. And then I began to see them. I saw and heard these stories embodied. Imagine seven diverse women, their voices, their faces, their bodies. Imagine them center-stage speaking their truth, moving together, moving through. Imagine them calling for action—now.” – Cindy Williams Gutiérrez
