The Vagina Monologues
SFU Images Theatre
Burnaby BC, Canada
Feb. 13-15
7:30 p.m.
Admit it. You're curious.
If a vagina could give a monologue, what would she say? If a vagina dressed up, what would she wear? The Vagina Monologues explores the mysterious unspeakable topic of down there.
The Vagina Monologues is a theatre piece exploring diverse aspects of the vagina using sex positive dialogue. The vagina becomes both the metaphor and a literal constituent of the female body.
Using the vagina as the outlet to speak of diverse experiences of a women, the monologues explore the cunt as a sight of pleasure, pain, mystery, celebration, humor, bleeding, birthing, delight, comfort, pride, ecstasy, boundary-pushing, surprise, exploration, love, fear, sex, and life-giving potential.
Organised and performed by SFU students, V-Day is the one time of year when the copyright fee to use the play is waived and the production is used to support organizations that work to end violence against women.
Breaking the traditional double standard of the glorification of the public penis and the silencing of the unmentionable poochie, The Vagina Monologues has diffused in popularity since the publication of Eve Ensler's book in 1998. This V-Day, SFU will be one of 36 performances in Canada, 550 in North American colleges, and 800 global shows.
The proceeds of V-Day support organizations dedicated to ending violence against women. This year, international collective support is going to the Revolutionary Association of Women of Afghanistan (a decision made before September 11). SFU will also be donating a share of their proceeds to the Women Against Violence Against Women (WAVAW) and the Aboriginal Women's Action Network, which recently lost all of its funding due to Liberal cuts. The Aboriginal Network will use their donation to help buy a van to transport women to their space.
The show busts open the taboo of the silenced organ, stirring up previously neglected dialogue that will hopefully open up the space for expansion. While the monologues represent the experiences of many women, it cannot represent all women. The cast members hope the audience will leave the theatre entertained, laughing, crying, and very curious to find out what else a cunt can do.
Be sure to check out the display of the SFP!RG's Women's Health and Menstruation Action Group. And don't forget to pick up a chocolate vagina for your sweetheart who may have missed the show, donated by the SFU Women's Centre.
If the show alone will not satiate your vaginal desires, you can attend the gala after the show on February 13 for drinks, snacks, belly dancers and some cunt-loving fun. A seat to the Monologues is included in the $36 gala ticket. To reserve your ticket, email vday_gala_sfu@hotmail. com.
For more information, please contact Amy at alskinne(at)sfu.ca or Taryn at tkm(at)sfu.ca. Tickets are $12 for non-students and $10 for students. Show begins at 7:30 on February 13, 14, & 15, at the SFU Images Theatre. Tickets available at the door.
