In Shade Of

Performance at 8pm *no late entry

Inspired by the proverb "Old sins have long shadows," In Shade Of explores the lingering weight of a woman's past that continues to overshadow her present self. Serving as a ritualistic obituary, the piece mourns the history she carries while reflecting on the space it occupies within her now. Throughout this journey, Kaben Benavides offers an intimate window into her own process of introspection and transformation.
