Violated

“Violated” shares and explores real-life experiences of broken consent and sexual assault. As the “Woman” recalls her various encounters, the audience is asked to question, “How many of these experiences have I also been party to? How many have I vocalised to another soul? Why do we keep them secret?”. The “Man” attempts to vocalise his singular defining sexual assault, the audience is asked to query, “How much pressure are men under to always appear strong? Do the men in my life feel open to talk emotionally? Do I always feel like I can say ‘No’?”.
