Description:
Illuminate the Darkness is an experimental theatre piece that exposes the cultural stereotypes that are perpetuated by misinformation and ignorance that is associated with racism and sexism in America. Bea Conner-Pohl interviewed women of different races and ethnicities illustrating their plights, their tragedies, and their achievements. It focuses on how they address the cultural inequities that affected them through their own unique ways of humour, common sense, heart, and empowerment. This new performance utilizes storytelling, videos, and audience participation.
