Casting Announcement: Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again.

Discord and Din Theatre have announced their cast for Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again!

Written by Alice Birch, Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again. is a fiery feminist text that examines and tears apart language, structures, and ideas that keep women trapped within a patriarchal system. Discord and Din offer a fresh, new perspective on this bold, wildly experimental, and internationally celebrated play, which is a ferocious and electrifying call to action for a new feminism. One that redefines the way we think about womanhood in the 21st century. In this play, the artists don’t have specifically assigned roles, as everyone will play multiple characters.

The play is directed by Jennifer Tarver, stage managed by Lucy McPhee, with set and costume design by Andjelija Djuric, choreographed by Susanna Hood, lighting design by Andre Du Toit, and sound design by Thomas Ryder Payne. Produced by Jenna Harris and Annie Clarke with production management by Adrien Whan and publicity by Victoria Laberge.

• Clare Coulter (Escaped Alone, Soulpepper/Necessary Angel)
• Teiya Kasahara (The Queen in Me, Amplified Opera/Theatre Gargantua)
• Jenna Harris (Lela & Co., Discord and Din Theatre)

Arlen Aguayo Stewart

"In this moment, I am revolting in solidarity with my people in Chile against a government with massive economic disparity. I am also in solidarity with all the movements around the world have woken up, especially indigenous resistance that has been awake for a looooong time that doesn't get the same media coverage or support but keep fighting courageously every.single.day."

Tony Ofori

"I am revolting against muting who I am so I’m more palatable to people around me. I’m revolting against muting myself expression through storytelling, music, fashion and jewelry. Humble for my accomplishments when I need to be but forever proud of how far I’ve come and all that I’ve achieved."

Teiya Kasahara

"Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ignorance, climate-change deniers."

⁴⁄₆

Clare Coulter

"I am revolting against nothing, and everything."

⁵⁄₆

Jenna Harris

"Today, I'm working to revolt against what feels to me like a lack of kindness in the world. And at the core of this, a dearth of awareness of the feelings of others. And I fully include myself in this - when I don't go out of my way to do something kind for someone (even a very small thing) because I don't think about it, or more honestly, am lazy and/or caught up in my own world or needs at that moment in time."

Jeff Meadows

"Personally, at the moment… I’m revolting against the tyranny of being the prisoner of my own thoughts. I am not my thoughts… And I shall revolt!"
