"The Chickens Have Come Home to Roost" is part of a continued effort to destigmatize survivors' experiences and initiate crucial conversations about consent. The play challenges audiences to grapple with the gray area within sexual encounters and the emotional aftermath that follows, asking audiences to bear witness to the gravity of these issues.
For Ana Cristina, creator and producer, it has been a cathartic journey to process and heal from her own trauma. "I want to offer audiences the opportunity to be uncomfortable, yet safe, to discuss boundaries openly," said Da Silva. "Through this play, I hope to spark important conversations about consent and challenge audiences to think deeply about the complexities of these experiences."
