In a fusion of music, poetry and art, an ensemble cast captivatingly depicts the early life of the revolutionary, yet surprisingly little known artist, Mina Loy. Visit Victorian England, Bavarian Munich, Bohemian Paris and Futurist Florence in a story of one woman's struggle to be herself in a world where women were subjects not artists. Leslie Lee, Obie-winning, Tony-nominated playwright, and author for television and film, has chosen to unearth an historical figure, the lesser-known yet pioneering poet and artist, Mina Loy (1882-1966). Mr. Lee's works have been praised as powerful, ground-breaking theater. His eloquent writing examines and embraces the life of this early feminist, whose talent, intellect and exceptional beauty made her one of the central figures of the literary and visual avant-garde in Europe and America. In this visionary play, Mr. Lee concentrates on Loy's early years in Europe during the height of experimental and Futurist thought in art. In a fusion of music, poetry and theatre, an ensemble cast will visit Victorian England, Bavarian Munich, Bohemian Paris, and Futurist Florence. At its core, Mina is the fascinating story of a deeply complicated woman, decades ahead of her time; a voice that saw '. . .art, love, sex, and childbirth from the perspective of a new woman.' (Becoming Modern, The Life of Mina Loy, Carolyn Burke)
