Description
Ghost Twerkers: A Play on Gender-Based Violence by Ola-Kris Akinola explores the complexities of gender-based violence through the story of three young women from impoverished backgrounds who turn to exotic dancing as a means of survival. A pivotal moment in their lives - a rape incident at work - marks a turning point, as they begin to break free from the shackles of GBV. This thought-provoking play sheds light on the dangers and silence surrounding this issue. Through its delicate yet powerful portrayal, Ghost Twerkers offers a compassionate and insightful look at the insanity of gender-based violence, inviting readers to engage with its uncomfortable truths.
