"Theatre meets Human Rights"
The Women's History Museum, the League of Women Voters, Women's Equity Council, International Museum of Human Rights at San Diego, La Jolla Pen Club, The Older Women's League and AAAW are proud to host an
AFTERNOON SALON with Playwright Catherine Filloux and Mo'olelo Artistic Director Seema Sueko
CATHERINE FILLOUX,
a playwright who focuses on genocide
and other human rights issues, has written twelve plays, three of which have
been professionally read here in San Diego. Primarily working as a solo
playwright, she also has done a good deal of collaborative work. In addition to
writing plays, Catherine has written numerous articles and has served as a
speaker for human rights and playwriting conferences and organizations around
the world. She writes, "A desire to take a stand--no matter what--inspired my
new play, Killing the Boss. What can a playwright truly do to work for
justice? How far do you put yourself out there? What do you do with the anger
and the pain? Killing the Boss has been a hard, long road toward
forgiveness, toward my belief in theater as an extremely precious art
form." More info on Catherine Filloux
