TANYA'S LIT CLIT (TLC) is a modern-mythic play about Tanya, a White ballerina with a burning in her clitoris (a word she can barely utter!) and Dr. Violet, a Black uro-gynecologist with her own autoimmune diseases. In an epic journey led by a chorus of womxn+, Dr. Violet and Tanya embark on a wild investigation of the female body and the herstory of its treatment. TLC shows medical bias in action through humor, visceral physicality, and dissonance to wake us from our complacency and guide us to our healing. Director, Tatiana Baccari, and playwright, Emma Goldman-Sherman, who are over twenty-five years apart in age, conceived TLC based on mutual struggles with autoimmune disorders.
Content Advisory: This play discusses intimacy and pain, along with strong language.
