Astraea and GO Magazine will co-host a presentation of Lenelle Moïse’s Ache What Make as part of the Culture Projects 2012 Women Center Stage Festival. On Wednesday, March 14th, 2012, join us for a performance of Lenelle Moïse’s latest work and stay for a Q&A with the artist led by Astraea Executive Director, J. Bob Alotta, and GO Magazine’s Arts & Entertainment Editor Carolyn Sarkis.
Supporting transformative art practices is an important part of our work at Astraea. We enjoy and value getting together with community members to see art, performance and film that is changing the way we think about social justice, about ourselves and each other. We are pleased to announce our next engagement.

Lenelle Moïses Ache What Make braids sensuous odes, urgent prayers, layered songs and bright ritual. Whether she’s talking about post-earthquake Haiti, conjuring Michael Jackson, or recounting her run-in with a skinhead on a crowded city train, Moïse shares intricate stories of creative resilience, stubborn compassion and death-defying love. Ache What Make invokes brilliant ancestors, current luminaries, and fleeting foes to celebrate a receptive heart in all its chipped or chipper wakefulness.
Presented each March for Womens History Month, the Culture Projects annual Women Center Stage Festival is a dynamic and diverse laboratory for new works by women performing artists. The 2012 Festival features 40+ performances from March 8 through April 7 at The Living Theatre (21 Clinton Street). Visit WomenCenterStage.org for tickets and more information.
