{"swEvent":[{"ID":3233,"Event":"The Vagina Monologues","Description":"
One in three women worldwide will experience physical or sexual violence in her lifetime. The members and allies of the Foundation for Filipina Women's Network perform this play to raise awareness, demand justice, and express solidarity with survivors.

The performance is a call for action and a demand for accountability and justice for survivors of gender-based violence.

\"The Vagina Monologues,\" written by playwright and activist V (formerly Eve Ensler), broke ground in 1994, offering the world a piece of art like nothing it had seen before. Based on dozens of interviews V conducted with women, the play addressed women's sexuality and the social stigma surrounding rape and abuse, creating a new conversation about and with women.

An Obie Award-winning whirlwind tour of a forbidden zone, \"The Vagina Monologues\" introduces a wildly divergent gathering of female voices, including a six-year-old girl, a septuagenarian New Yorker, a vagina workshop participant, a woman who witnesses the birth of her granddaughter, the Comfort Women’s call for apology, a Bosnian survivor of rape, and a feminist happy to have found a man who \"liked to look at it.\"

At a moment of rapid change both locally and globally, Manny's is bringing together two of San Francisco's most inspiring leaders to share their lives and their stories in this rare and intimate conversation. This pairing may likely never be together again on one stage. The setting? Imagine you've just come home and you've invited OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Warriors Coach Steve Kerr to your kitchen table to catch up and discuss what’s motivating them right now, the lessons they've learned along the way and how they see the future unfolding for San Francisco and the world.

Moderated by Manny Yekutiel.

San Francisco's Conspiracy of Beards perform their new show, The Unified Heart of Leonard Cohen, celebrating Cohen's words, music, and contemplations on \"The Order of the Unified Heart,\" the symbol of two hearts intertwined that appears on the cover of the 1984 poetry collection Book of Mercy. This book inspired the 1985 album Various Positions, which includes some of Cohen's most iconic songs, including \"If It Be Your Will,\" \"Dance Me to the End of Love,\" and \"Hallelujah.\"

The Crux is a mad scientist's music laboratory, where songs are presented as theatrical experiments with odd and beautiful intensity: lullabies to drink your morning coffee to, gospel songs for the faithless, pirate shanties for people who get seasick, and swing music for the graceless.

The Crux has appeared as chain-rattling klezmer folk punks, an unhinged revival service, a theatrical film-noir jazz combo, and more. This band is a true North Bay institution with a revolving cast of musicians assembled and coaxed into action by regional impresario Josh Windmiller. The Crux will present Cohen's New Skin for the Old Ceremony and other favorites.

San Francisco Poet Laureate Genny Lim will open the evening, accompanied by cellist Kathryn Bates.

GRAMMY®-nominated singer Perla Batalla performs her show, A Letter to Leonard Cohen: Tribute to a Friend, celebrating her long-time friend and mentor Leonard Cohen. Featuring Batalla's powerful voice, powerful band, emotional honesty, and boundary-defying songs, blending interpretations of Cohen's iconic lyrics with two of her own compositions, \"Awakened\" and \"The L of Your First Name\". The project serves as a deeply personal and fearless tribute to Cohen's legacy, informed by Batalla's two decades of touring and recording with him.

Batalla was Cohen's collaborator and friend for more than two decades. Cohen, of course, was a revered, Montreal-born, Grammy®-winning singer-songwriter, poet, and novelist who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as well as invested as Companion of the Order of Canada, the nation's highest civilian honor. An icon in his native land and around the globe, he is considered the poet laureate of Canada.

\"Batalla's gorgeous, rich, contralto voice adds another layer of beauty to Cohen’s elegantly crafted songs.\" – San Jose Mercury News

\"…Batalla is blessed with an assured and matured vocal instrument, rich, sonorous, and deep…\" — Joe Woodard, SB Independent

The San Francisco Choral Society, under the direction of Robert Geary, presents an evening of music that speaks to the enduring human longing for peace.

At the heart of the program is Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Dona Nobis Pacem, a stirring 20th-century plea for harmony and reconciliation. Drawing on texts from the Latin Mass and the poetry of Walt Whitman, the work moves from anguish to hope, reflecting both the devastation of war and the resilience of the human spirit.

Complementing this masterwork are two luminous works by contemporary composer Ola Gjeilo: The Lake Isle of Innisfree, inspired by W. B. Yeats’s vision of serenity and solitude, and Bronte, a choral piece commissioned and premiered by SF Choral Society in 2023, exploring memory, place, and renewal.

The performance features soprano Michele Kennedy, baritone Kenneth Goodson, guitarist Maxwell Gibbs, and pianist Keisuke Nakagoshi, with orchestral accompaniment by the California Chamber Symphony.

Join us for this moving reflection on peace, poetry, and the power of music.
Saturday, November 15 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, November 16 at 4 p.m.
at Trinity + St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, San Francisco.

This concert is made possible by the generous support of an anonymous donor
