Giving Into Light

The author of the internationally-acclaimed travel memoir, Honeymoon in Purdah - an Iranian journey*, performs an adaptation of her forthcoming book. Employing dazzling imagery, music, movement, percussive soundscapes, and her extraordinary verbal dexterity, Alison Wearing guides us to a magical village in central Mexico, a place where the everyday and the sacred converge. From the comical and challenging circumstances that lead to her departure through the descriptive paradise of her prose, audiences will be taken on a riveting, uproarious, and ultimately transformative journey of love, acceptance and surrender.
