dc.description.abstract | An original play Behind Us Is Noise was created by three young women who came together for one purpose: to highlight the issues that today’s world is facing. Reina Lebron, Anna Fofana, and Skyler Hertz share their experiences facing these cruel realities. They represent many truths that other young women and men are experiencing daily. They are the voice for such heart-wrenching social injustices. The problems that are brought to the surface include: Body Dysmorphia, social media being a curse as it is causing many to experience anxiety, racial issues such as judging someone’s ethnicity based on their looks, beauty standards being pushed by mass media as being highly detrimental to human health, racial profiling and inequality in the hair industry, sex glorification, and what is the definition of pretty privilege. All three actors share uplifting advice in the end; which is to change the way we view ourselves and others. They remind us to not judge ourselves so harshly and to look at the glass half full, not half empty. They also share that to break free from these social dilemmas, we must first recognize what the media is doing to us and learn to appreciate other things like experiences and how those around us make us feel. Society must also learn to practice gratification for the things they do have and not strive for the things they do not have. The power must come from within, and change starts with each individual changing their mindset.?? | |
