Teresa Walsh‘s powerful one-woman show, Body Revolution, is playing through October 15 at El Teatro de la Esperanza at 2940 16th Street in San Francisco. About the show, from Speak Out:
Poet, playwright and actress Teresa Walsh, in her powerful one-woman show, Body Revolution: From Harlem to Havana, tells the story of her ascent into a new life. Literally. After she falls from her third story Harlem apartment window and is paralyzed, Walsh – and her audience – embark on a powerful, poignant and sometimes humorous journey from New York to Havana, Cuba. The play speaks of gender, race and class, of medical care, and U.S. – Cuba relations. But most of all, it shows how one woman comes to terms with her permanent disability, and the role of human solidarity in this body revolution.
Meredith Maran, author of Dirty, says, “Body Revolution is equal parts passion, politics, and poetry, a journey into places, times, and emotions that would otherwise be unknown. Teresa Walsh is a rare talent and her show a rare find.”
