No Candy

No Candy

By Emma Stanton

January 16 – February 10

Directed by Tea Alagic

ABOUT

At the center of No Candy is a multi-generational community of Bosnian Muslim women who survived the Srebrenica genocide and, years later, open a gift shop for tourists who visit the Srebrenica memorial. While No Candy is very much about how trauma inhabits the body and shapes a community, it is also about the persistence of humor, art, and absurdity in an unimaginable time.

This new work was presented to enthusiastic acclaim as part of our 2017 Fall Reading Series. 

Please note:  Run time: 110 mins including a 15-minute intermission. 

This production contains descriptions of violence and sexual violence. There is a brief moment that is sexual (fully clothed) that becomes aggressive and non-consensual.
