Words by Sara Cooper, Music by Lynne Shankel
HoT is an all-women+ through-composed feminist retelling of Helen Of Troy. It examines the commodification of women throughout our lifetimes as Helen is first sexualized, then held to unrealistic beauty and gender-based standards, and finally vilified and discarded— until she decides to fight back.
