Rha Goddess: Low October 15, 2008

Part I of the Meditations Trilogy
Linguistic brilliance, hip-hop rhythms and unflinching honesty characterize the work of Rha Goddess — artist, writer, poet and social activist. In LOW: Part I of the Meditations Trilogy, she poses the question, "What is insanity?" This 75-minute, solo theater piece explores the mythology, stigma, fear and confusion surrounding mental illness through the story of Lowquesha, a vibrant young woman who takes the all-too-common journey through the mental health system. LOW is a riveting portrayal that is furious, funny, dark and hopeful. Brilliantly staged and directed by Chay Yew, it offers up an equal dose of laughter, outrage and compassion.
This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.
