This combination of duo and solo performances by Sarah Elizabeth Charles and Caroline Davis will be centered around composers who have been marginalized as a result of their gender identity, or sexual orientation. Voices of those who have dedicated their lives to the intersectionality between gender identity, race, age, sexual orientation, ability, and class will be included in this performance, interspersed with interactive performer-audience dialogue.
This event is part of the 2024 NEC Festival — a weeklong series taking place from November 10-17 featuring performances, workshops, and more. Explore all of the festival's events here.
