About “LOW”
As part one of Rha Goddess’
The Meditations Trilogy, LOW is a 75-minute dramatic exploration that asks “what is insanity?” and addresses the mythology, stigma, fear and confusion surrounding mental illness.

Fusing poetry, music, prose, and movement, Rha Goddess transforms into a vibrant young woman named Lowquesha and chronicles an all too common journey through the mental health system. Part manifesto, part family history, and part spiritual evocation, this installation of The Meditations Trilogy is a call for understanding and positive change and asserts that achieving a state of well-being in this society is a revolutionary act!

With equal doses of laughter, outrage, and compassion, the show is disturbingly articulate and will challenge its audiences in ways not ventured before.

LOW: Meditations Trilogy Part 1 is a co-production of Divine Dime Entertainment, Ltd. and Made in da Shade (NL). It is a part of the provocative line up for UNDER THE RADAR 2008, a twelve-day theater festival presented by The Public Theater (Artistic Director Oskar Eustis; Executive Director Mara Manus) and Producer Mark Russell. LOW premiered at Actor’s Theatre of Louisville in the 2006 Humana Festival of New American Plays.

The Future Aesthetics Artist Regrant (FAAR) program is a pilot national initiative to support individual artists and work that is emerging from the field of Hip-Hop arts/future aesthetics and is administered by the Hip-Hop Theater Festival (HHTF) with funding provided by the Ford Foundation.
