Elif Bet: Sept!💛

NOTE: To approve your RSVP, please Venmo $5 to @theelifcollective. Thank you! ✨Welcome to Elif Bet✨ Every month, we're gathering the Elif community in a cozy space in NYC to hear a new play. We’re so excited to bring you a one-act by the wonderful Alexandra Haddad — join us for a reading of “Helen in Her Homeland”! Come along for friends, snacks, dancing, and, of course, the story! About the playwright… 🪞 Alexandra Haddad works frequently with playwrights, directing premieres of new plays, including PEACH BOY and SEOUL CITY SUE by Kenjiro Lee, BLOOD ORANGE by Abigail Duclos, and THE BROKEN BRAIN BREAKUP GAME by Lee Melillo. She centers those who are not wholly represented, including women, the queer community, and people of the Global Majority, making theatre that feels epic, mythic, and intimate. HELEN IN HER HOMELAND is her first play. alexandradarcyhaddad.com / @alexhad About the play... 🪞 CONTENT WARNINGS: This play depicts violence. Gendered violence, sexual violence, racialized violence, homophobia, hatred, warfare, colonialism, suicide, and murder. A reflection on the power and pain of beauty, HELEN IN HER HOMELAND shares how Helen and Paris met, fled, started, and ended a war. A modern poetic and mythological retelling of what the face that launched a thousand ships might have seen, and said, in Troy. See you there! 💛 *If your RSVP is not approved for any reason, your Venmo payment will be refunded.
