City of Joy
The Democratic Republic of Congo has suffered twenty years of devastating violence. Rape has been utilized like a weapon of war to eliminate community and access precious minerals. Congo is frequently known as “the worst world to become a lady.” Town Of Pleasure informs another story from the region. The show concentrates on Jane, students in a center where ladies who have endured unimaginable abuse join together to get leaders. We satisfy the founders from the center: a devout Congolese Physician (Dr Denis Mukwege, 2016 Nobel Peace Prize nominee) a Congolese activist (Christine Schuler-Deschryver) along with a radical N.Y. playwright (Eve Ensler, author from the Vagina Monologues). The show weaves between pleasure and discomfort because these individuals band together to demand hope somewhere so frequently considered hopeless.
