Woman

Woman (2020) is an ode to our journey, to the awakening we have witnessed over these recent years. Woman is an intimate, almost visceral account of what it means to be born a woman in a castrating patriarchal system. As an internal monologue, it takes you by the hand through the experience of coming from oppression to freedom, from sleep to awakening. In an effective attempt, the spectator wakes up along with the story. A woman who opens her eyes after turbulent dreams and decides to embrace her instinct, her corporality, her femininity. That is WOMAN, a story to see; to be seen.
