SOARS
MCC THEATER
SOARS is an inspiring performance about one woman’s journey to reclaim her body, sexuality, spirituality, and self esteem after being sexual assaulted in college. Performed by a diverse cast of women, and featuring photographs taken by her sister during the recovery process, SOARS uses modern dance, spoken-word, and music to educate the public about sexual violence, and to ease the shame, guilt, and self blame that rape survivors too often feel.
