A Song of Songs unpacks and remixes the Biblical poem, treating it as a jumping off place for thinking about love, erotics, collectivity, and justice.
Two femmes find themselves in a charged romantic relationship:
I love you.
I don’t believe you.
Ah well.
When one takes an unexpected journey to the underworld, the other is left wondering what they might have missed. Meanwhile, a third challenges them both to crack open their love and let it spill out into the world.
A Song of Songs is being created at and in community with El Puente. For a play about love, power, care, and justice, process and product are inextricably linked. Performances will be part performance, part ritual, featuring song, refreshments, and visual art.
