An inspired evening of women’s voices, poetry filled
with Buddhist teachings and community. Composed around the Buddha’s
lifetime, the Therigatha (Verses of the Elder Nuns) contains
poems by the first Buddhist women. Here you’ll find princesses and
courtesans, tired wives of arranged marriages and the desperately in
love, those born into limitless wealth and those born with nothing at
all. Their voices are all here.
Matty Weingast revives this ancient collection
with a contemporary and radical adaptation that remains true to the
essence of each poem and highlights the struggles and doubts, as well as
the strength, perseverance, and profound compassion, embodied by these
courageous women.
