Designed, directed, and adapted by Ms. Skipitares, THE TRAVELING PLAYERS PRESENT THE WOMEN OF TROY is a circus-like play-within-a-play featuring four female activists in 13-foot tall puppet form (based on four real-life female activists) - 2 from Zimbabwe, 1 from Kenya and 1 from Afghanistan. These figures each share a part of their own, often dangerous lives, while life-size puppets emerge from and withdraw into their giant bodies, performing excerpts from Euripides' TROJAN WOMEN. The performance features original music composed and performed by internationally acclaimed composer Sxip Shirey.
