Vile Affections by Vanda
Set in Post Renaissance Italy, the play unearths the first recorded lesbian affair and the intense inquisition of all parties involved. The piece aims to juxtapose Christianity and mysticism and look at sexuality through the lens of the Catholic church.
In a time period when people are newly confronted with Galileo's ideas of a sun-centered universe, a nun reveals herself to have visions of God. The Sisters of her convent express a curious allegiance to her. In fear of her growing power, the church sends a Provost to find the truth. What he ultimately finds challenges his understanding of the world to his very core.
The show presents a commentary on how the Catholic church has treated women throughout history and how powerful women are dealt with when they hold too much.
Vile Affections will run from March 20th - 29th at People's Center Theater on the West Bank.
