About This Event
Written by Ehkhudah Zar and directed by Eliza Rasheed, this is the first-ever theater production by a K’nyaw playwright in the U.S. and shares the story of Muyehpen with a new generation. The story of Muyehpen has been passed down for generations by the K’nyaw (Karen) people of Burma. Known to be the most beautiful K’nyaw woman in her time, and possessing supernatural powers, Muyehpen was kidnapped by the king of Siam and became a sacrifice. This is her narrative of resistance and resilience, which lives on today.
This is a free community event, but reservations are required. The play is performed in English. There will be an artist talk back following the Sunday performance.
Age Recommendation: This is a retelling of a traditional K’nyaw story and all ages are welcome. There is a reference to a sexual assault.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
