Friends With Fire Arms: A farewell to Feminism

“Her name was Mona but she had been burned so many times that they called her Fire Arms. Her scars were good and deep like a funny story told three different ways and all at the same time.” So reads an excerpt from Paula Killen’s brand new production Friends With Fire Arms: A Farewell to Feminism. Last seen in The State I’m In her solo performance at the Goodman Studio, Kilen returns to the stage with a lively and provocative evening of image evaluations that don’t include stories about childhood, our periods, or “what moma’s done told us.” Friends With Fire Arms is a unique collaboration which encompasses Kilen’s text, original music composed and performed by Miriam Sturm and the cinematic vision of Katy Maguire.
