PHANTOM PAIN is a socio-critical One-Woman-Play that explores the psychological effects of loss in various artistic approaches. The play consists of poetry, dance, vocals and monologues and is based on true events, accounts and testimonies. Even though the stories of the five fictional women portrayed in this piece (Amina, Sophia, Minnie, Kelly and Zakia) are fundamentally different and the characters themselves are in no way connected to each other, they share the same core notion: The pain of living on when something essential was taken from them. Human Trafficking, Separation of Families at the US-Mexico Border, Suicide, Depression and Rape are some of the themes captured and discussed in the play. It is an attempt to shine light on major issues from another angle. No faceless quote on the news - no far-flung anecdote in an article but a reminder of the humans behind those numbers and figures
