A music-theater piece reclaiming #MaryMagdalene and the astonishing message of her banned Gospel - created by @sylvia.milo & @nathandavis_composer

Crowdfunding ends tomorrow!

We are intensely gratified by the response to Magdalene: Utterance of my name, it was a thrill to share it with you over our 3-week run! 🌹
A feminist art piece on a controversial religious figure can be a tough sell in this climate. But you showed up to hear this story of suppressed female leadership and the potential for change. And you shared stories of how it touched you, provoked discussion, and inspired you. We are inspired by your openness. Thank you.

But we still have a serious budget shortfall to close. Can you help? You can help!

Please visit our IndieGoGo campaign, linked in bio (https://igg.me/at/MagdaleneUtterance/)

Perks include a gorgeous video of the performance 🎥, unique field recordings 📀 from the Magdalene cave ⚓️, spikenard oil, and many others!

Every cent goes to paying the remaining costs and gathering steam for the next steps for the life of the show.

-- with gratitude from Sylvia, Nathan, and the Magdalene: Utterance team

Silenced as an apostle, framed as a prostitute, exalted as Goddess, Mary Magdalene has always been controversial and dangerous to the status quo. Equal parts theater and ritual, Magdalene: I am the utterance of my name is a transformative and spiritual experience that wrestles with flawed histories in an attempt to reach true transcendence.

rg: Repost from @herearts
•
Don’t miss the new SubletSeries show opening this Thursday at HERE! Magdalene: I am the utterance of my name is a work of music-theater that illuminates the myths, beliefs and contradictions that have surrounded Mary Magdalene for over 2000 years.

Drawing from ancient texts, artworks, and contemporary writings, the piece centers the revolutionary message from her banned and buried “Gospel of Mary Magdalene”, lost for centuries. Running this Thursday, June 13 - June 30.

Info and tix at: https://here.org/shows/magdalene-i-am-the-utterance-of-my-name/

“…its ending, with poetry and dancing celebrating Magdalene as a Goddess, had an urgency and a looseness that suggested that what is won by all this questioning is a form of freedom. It was a truly grand finale” – Jay Lustig, NJarts.net

Previews begin this Thursday, June 13
at @herearts Center.
