The Procession is a powerful one-woman performance that offers a distilled glimpse into the larger operatic work The Procession of the Naked Beggars. Part ritual, part recital, part reckoning — this intimate showing weaves together arias, monologues, and spoken-word incantations to explore the mythic, domestic, and political terrains of womanhood across time.
Performed by Christine Ibrahim, the creator of the full opera, The Procession invites the audience into a stripped-back ceremonial space. Here, fragments of music and text emerge like archaeological relics — raw, unfinished, and urgent. Through these selections, we encounter three female archetypes: the mother, the exile, and the saint — each voice echoing themes of autonomy, sacrifice, rage, and transcendence.
With original music that moves from contemporary classical to distorted lullaby, and staging that nods to ancient rite and modern protest, The Procession doesn’t just present scenes — it calls them forth. The result is a haunting and visceral experience that stands alone as a work in progress and a ceremonial preview of the full opera to come.
