"Did I get used to oppression or is music my way of fighting?"

Saria Callas is a bold, multimedia play from former OP Evolve Artists about aspiring to be a singer while growing up in a place where it is forbidden for women to sing.

A bottle of red in, Saria reminisces about the school bus parties, the wannabe prayer-caller and the secret acts of rebellion at the all-girls' school.

Now Saria stands at a crossroads with her child. How does a woman who has experienced firsthand repression of her body and voice react as her child struggles with their own gender identity? This sexy, camp, pop-filled semi-autobiographical play highlights an often unheard perspective of the supportive parent, unpacking the intersectional grey area of what life is like for women.
