on March 20th the premiere of SLUT streamed through the Basement Arts website.\u00a0Slut \u200bis an all-female written, produced, directed, and performed play about how our society and culture allows sexual violence to exist and ultimately thrive. Just this past month women have come forward and told their story of sexual assault and unfair power dynamics against one of the most popular Youtube stars of our generation. T<\/span>he scenes depicted in the play are all based on true events and therefore may be a trigger to some.<\/span><\/p>\n

The play originally written by\u00a0Kate Cappiello has been further adapted into a Netflix series called Grand Army. The play follows Joey del Marco, a sixteen-year-old girl who is sexually assaulted by her three friends one Friday night. Using her interviews and reactions from her peers, family, and friends the play dissects and showcases the way slut-shaming, victim-blaming, and objectification are present in our society and affect justice to survivors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The ability to view the online play is completely free so the organization has asked those who are able to, to donate to a few hand-picked non profit organizations.\u00a0\u200b<\/span><\/span>Both of the organizations aim to end domestic abuse and sexual violence in the Wayne and Washtenaw counties.\u00a0 These organizations also provide resources if you or someone who is a survivor of sexual assault or abuse.<\/span><\/p>\n

After watching this play my heart goes out to those who feel as if they cannot come forward due to the fallout that Joey experienced, or come forward and experience similar backlash. This play was completely student directed and produced, seeing students come together to produce an amazing and meaningful production despite the lack of performance opportunities this year is extremely hopeful and inspiring.<\/p>\n
