NEW YORK, NY.- Couraj Productions announced the return of Earth to Venus, a gripping new play by Rachel Collignon, directed by Mahima Saigal. This thought-provoking production will run from August 30th through September 8th at Theatrelab, located at 357 W 36th St, New York, NY, 10018.
Earth to Venus transports audiences to Venus Villas, a women-only mental health clinic where a seemingly benign documentary project is introduced to the patients. Initially met with skepticism, the project unexpectedly fosters a powerful sense of community and trust among the women. However, as the director's hidden agenda comes to light, the atmosphere shifts dramatically, leading to a journey through moral ambiguity and ethical dilemmas.
Rachel Collignon's incisive script explores themes of identity, community, and visibility in a society that often judges women based on their appearance, social status, and productivity. The play challenges viewers to reflect on how these external pressures shape and sometimes distort our sense of self and our interactions with others.
Directed by Mahima Saigal, known for her innovative and empathetic approach to theater, Earth to Venus promises to be an emotional and intellectually stimulating experience. Saigal’s direction brings Collignon’s powerful narrative to life, making it an essential piece of contemporary theater.
