Sherina Rodriguez Sharpe presents Genesis

“Genesis” is a theatrical performance by Kresge Theater Fellow Sherina Rodriguez Sharpe, telling a story of decolonization through six Filipina mothers across her ancestral line.

In describing this performance, Sharpe says: “This work is presented as a mirror ritual. Each mirror is an altar to one of my ancestors, activating their power. In the mirrors, the viewer is called to experience five Divine Mothers and hear their stories. Each mirror overflows, brimming with wisdom and ancestral messages. My calling: to embody their genius and liberate our ancestral line. I invite you to join me in this freedom process. Each story is accompanied by a decolonization ritual. By the end of the night, you’ll meet your inner Road Opener, Warrior, Magician, Lover, and King and access the inner power necessary to become the hero of your own decolonization journey.”

Featured artists include: Sherina Rodriguez Sharpe, Shashu Amen-Ra, Veronique Eason, TETRA, and Chace Morris.

This performance is presented as a part of the A2AC Gallery’s exhibition We are here because you were there co-presented by
