He(R)evolution

about He(R)evolution

He(R)evolution is a highly personal, yet universal one woman biographical show that examines the political struggles of a young woman. Themes of political activism, womanhood, spirituality, and fate weave the story together as the playwright/performer comes to understand her identity as link in a chain of women revolutionaries. Based on interviews with the playwright's parents and family friends, as well as her own memories, the actress portrays six characters, including her Jewish-American mother, Chilean father, a female Chilean political-activist, a comical "Gringo" solidarity worker, her namesake, Julia, subject of Lilian Hellman's short story "Julia," and finally herself. Sad, funny, poignant and powerful, He(R)evolution will touch both older and younger generations trying to come to terms with the politics of the time: then, now, and in the future.
