YOUR MIND, GIRLS,
IS THE FIRST BATTLEGROUND FOR FREEDOM

In a world where technology is increasingly controlling our lives, what does it mean to be human?
YOUR MIND, GIRLS, IS THE FIRST BATTLEGROUND FOR FREEDOM is a new play that explores this question through the lens of Ntozake Shange's novel Liliane.
The play follows Liliane, who is living in a near-future time in which technology has become so advanced that it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the virtual. Liliane struggles to find her place in this world, and she longs for a connection to something real.
The play juxtaposes Liliane's past and future, exploring the ways in which technology has both shaped and limited her life. The play also asks questions about the nature of freedom, and the human experience.
YOUR MIND, GIRLS, IS THE FIRST BATTLEGROUND FOR FREEDOM is an immersive experience, presented in a mixed-reality that will challenge and provoke audiences. It is a play about the importance of connection, the power of the imagination, and the fight for freedom.
