“Black, Lesbian, Feminist, Poet, Warrior, Mother. Audre Lorde battles her way through her last poem, determined to finish a work women will inherit before her body writes her eulogy. Performed by an ensemble of 50 women and inspired by Lorde's works, LORDES asks the question: How do we feed ourselves in a world where we are meant to starve?” https://lenfest.arts.columbia.edu/events/directing-thesis-lordes
