Eve, the biblical-ancient female archetype, rises from her submissive, seduced silence; in protest against demonic violence. The first mother who witnessed one of her sons murdering the other, followed by a brutal bloodsong of millenniums, is cracking open like a split earth. Her prayer is a multitude of voices; streaming as fluid in the veins of mourning and resurrecting. Prayer as an action of deep-rooted trust, demanding a radical shift of vision and attention to repairing, healing and being joined in spirit. An undercurrent rising, rebelling and striving for life and aliveness, Flag of Eve emanates oneness as a message beyond difference; from our primary existence.

"To attend the show 'Flag of Eve' is to accept being immersed in the raw power of grief and the transcendence that accompanies it. Maya M. Carroll delivers a work of imagery, poetry, and depth, with the delicacy of a knife blade and the brutality of a dream. Throughout the performance, Maya takes us through a myriad of images as profound as they are powerful, into which we allow ourselves to be carried, accepting to be shaken in its foundations. The invocative power of her dance serves a message of grief and honest love from which we do not emerge unscathed. The Flag of Eve is the kind of show you see once in a lifetime, and which leaves a lasting impression. This solo is not only magnificent, but essential in the world we live in today" ( - Marie Desoubeaux, choreographer and director of the platform Présomptions de Présences, France) photo credit: Uri Rubinstein
