Inspired by When God was a Woman by Merlin Stone and created for the stage by Ildiko Nemeth and Lisa Giobbi, this performance piece, structured through classic theater and ungrounded aerial movement elements, traces the lives of a group of women from different eras and socio-political circumstances, through the lens of historical records and lists from mundane to extraordinary. Infused with humor throughout and presented in a series of interconnected vignettes, Lists of Promise questions the expectations and demands made of women by highlighting absurd, tragic, and ironic realities.
