The women of the UMO Ensemble collaborate with Sheila Daniels (director), Gretta Harley (composer), and musician Marchette DuBois to create an extraordinary piece inspired by women in contexts of endurance.
UMO presents “Rubble Women” from February 26 – March 15, 2009, performances at 7:30 pm on Thursday through Sunday.
Location: David Smith Furniture Warehouse (MAP) 1107 Harrison St, Seattle, WA 98109
The piece asks the question “What is it within women that gives them the power to continue providing, creating and moving forward in the face of seemingly unendurable hardships?”
From the actual Rubble Women of post WWII Berlin to historical and mythological sources, along with interview material from current day refugees, a powerful 8 woman ensemble physically explores the endurance of women throughout the ages.
Written by Martha Enseon and directed by Sheila Daniels, the cast includes Elizabeth Klob, Marchette DuBois, Amy Rider, Carina Jingrot, Kajsa Ingemansson, Mik Kuhlman, Tracy Hyland, Martha Enson
Not only is the UMO ensemble based on Vashon Island, but the bricks used for the set came from a Vashon construction company!!!!!
