August 13 & 14, 2019

I think when you hear women speak about their own experience they speak in a way that’s very different than the kind of rhetoric that we usually hear publicly and it is something that’s very rarely heard,” says Cawthorne.

“Women don’t talk about their experience of abortion very openly, they still fear, I think, a lot of judgment and they take a risk if they do that but when they do speak about it, its quite different to what you would expect.” (source)

A community outreach project of PerSIStence Theatre
Tuesday August 13 & Wednesday August 14, 2019
Performed at The S.P.A.C.E.

In these monologues, twenty-three women reveal the details of their lives, relationships and families as they tell the stories of their abortions.

Sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking, but always thought provoking, "The Abortion Monologues" exist in stark contrast to the real world in which women seldom publicly discuss this choice.

PerSIStence Theatre was proud to present Jane Cawthorne's "The Abortion Monologues" as a special community outreach project.

INDIGENOUS LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

At PerSIStence, we feel that it is vital to support the Indigenous people and communities of Newfoundland and Labrador and understand our privilege, as beneficiaries of both historical and ongoing colonialism, in being able to live and work together on this beautiful land.

We sincerely acknowledge the territory in which we gather, as the ancestral home-lands of the Beothuk and the island of Newfoundland as the ancestral homelands of the Mi’kmaq and Beothuk. We would also like to recognize the Inuit of Nunatsiavut and NunatuKavut and the Innu of Nitassinan, and their ancestors, as the original people of Labrador.

We encourage all to join us in learning more about and supporting the Indigenous people and communities of Newfoundland and Labrador. A great place to start is by connecting with First Light an organization that provides programs and services rooted in the revitalization, strengthening and celebration of Indigenous cultures and languages in the spirit of trust, respect, and friendship. Please visit firstlightnl.ca to learn more.
