The
Garden of Hope urges our friends and supporters not to miss the
Taiwan premiere of the "Vagina
Monologues" which will be performed for two-nights only at Taipei's Red House Theater. The
performances are organized as part of the worldwide V-Day events
aimed to end violence against girls and women.
According
to a media release from V-Day, building a world community aims to
"empower women to find their collective voices and demand an
end to the epidemic levels of violence and abuse in their
communities." The
award-winning play "dives into the mystery, humor, pain, power,
wisdom, outrage and excitement buried in women's
experience."
The play will be performed in
Chinese on Friday March 25, and in English on Saturday
26th.
