For Black Trans Girls Who Gotta Cuss a Mother F*cker Out When Snatching an Edge Ain’t Enough: A Choreo Poem

Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company presents a special reading of For Black Trans Girls Who Gotta Cuss a Mother F*cker Out When Snatching an Edge Ain’t Enough: A Choreo Poem by DC-based playwright and performer Lady Dane Figueroa Edidi, and directed by Paige Hernandez. Inspired by Ntozake Shange’s iconic 1975 choreopoem, For Colored Girls Who Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow Is Enuf, Edidi describes the piece as “a celebration of Trans Women, Goddesshood, a lament for our fallen, a sword for our living and a challenge to white supremacy, structural oppression and any who would dare try to erase us from existence.”
