After receiving devastating news about her health. Brianna reevaluates her life experiences and, how to live a meaningful life. If she wants to go on living at all. Exploring her memories, navigating racism, fatphobia, misogny and hyper sexualization. Defying rules placed on her from society to find her self-worth and empowerment through movement and spoken word. Inspired by the novel Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susanne, Prescribed Existence is a blistering review of the limitations and expectations women face. Particularly Black women in the United States of America where double standards and inequity abound.
Content warnings: discussions of cancer, sexual assault, child abuse, suicide ideation, partial “nudity”, very strong language.
