Review: ‘Material Witness’ Explores Violence Against Indigenous Women [NYTimes.com]
A white-haired woman who says her knees hurt performs the first scene of “Material Witness” at La MaMa. Ominous music plays, followed by sounds of loud exhalation. Or is that the wind? The woman (Gloria Miguel) has just been talking about “each place I leave my voice in the air.” “Material Witness” — a Spiderwoman Theater, Aanmitaagzi and Loose Change production — can be poetic that way. At other times, it’s rowdy and playful, displaying an enormous sense of energy, strength and good will.
