ACTS from the Womb

In a world where women need to justify their right to birth control, where teenage girls are bombarded with images from the media and left with no choice but to compare their bodies to the Photoshopped versions of what is supposed to be "perfect", very few things challenge and endorse these sorts of issues. Works of quality that are trying to challenge, empower, question and simply share the humar and subtleties of the difference in the way women experience the current world; from politics to sexuality to relationships amongst themselves. ACTS from the WOMB touches with graciously raw dialogue, poetry, music and dance on such subjects. Rather than just share the woman’s perspective what it’s like to be a female in works like the “Vagina Monologues”, “ACTS from the Womb” questions the challenges involved in the intricate relationships and judgments women impose on themselves and the world around them. It sets a platform where a diverse audience can intimately ask themselves its involvement in all of these issues. It is important as proactive members from a modern global community to support and spread the word on such works of art, rather than let other people do the thinking for Nation that habitually tunes to “Gossip Girl” every Monday night.

ACTS From The WOMB (ACTS), a new stage production by Mugendai Entertainment, walks in the footsteps of great productions such as The Vagina Monologues and For Colored Girls. Created in appreciation and homage to my mother, ACTS is a collection of stories; performed by women as spoken word and monologue. These heartfelt testimonies are celebratory, funny and uplifting, while addressing the personal challenges of womanhood. Each performance is accented with harmonious dance choreography and powerful music to touch the soul.
