the seven ravens project

The Seven Ravens Project is a theatrical adaptation of the Brothers Grimm tale, The Seven Ravens, a story of a young girl's epic quest to reunite with her long-lost brothers and reverse a curse.  Her journey takes her past the edge of the world and through the cosmos, where she encounters the sun, the moon, and the stars.  The Seven Ravens Project mashes up this fantastical Grimms' tale with the true, heroic, tragic and triumphant stories of contemporary child migrants and refugees across the world.  Featuring a diverse, international, multilingual cast of women physical performers, and incorporating song, movement, puppetry and projections, The Seven Ravens Project sheds light on one of today's most pressing sociopolitical issues through the lenses of allegory, fantasy and play.  The Seven Ravens Project is directed and conceived by Marisol Rosa-Shapiro and features Alicia Campbell, Rachel Jarvis, Andrea Ang, Maya Carter, Yasemin Eti, Juliana Suaide, Ana Cantorån Viramontes, Susanna Brock, Brianna Mireya Espinal, and Anju Hyppolite.  The work has been developed through the Labworks Program at the New Victory Theater in NYC, at Drop Forge & Tool Creative Residency in Hudson, NY and at the Barn Arts Collective in Maine.
