V. Monologues

Believe it or not, last night I saw the Vagina Monologues…in ZAMBIA!!!! I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it for myself. In a country where we have a difficult time even scheduling workshops to teach people about gender-based and sexual violence because of the stigma that revolves discussing such issues, I was shocked to learn that the Monologues were coming to Lusaka for the second year in a row. Not only was the show sold out, but in typical Zambian style, it was very interactive…with people talking back to the characters during their monologues. To say it was interesting would be an understatement. After seeing the Monologues, I can’t wait to see the Madonna tribute concert later this month!
