TRAFFIK FEMME is a one-woman theatre piece that deals with the challenging issues of human trafficking and modern slavery. In TRAFFIK FEMME we hear the story of a woman who tells her story of forced prostitution through shadow puppets, live music, physical theatre, black humor and dance. This character is a survivor of horrible abuse yet there is not a dose of victimization in her; she is harsh yet she has a surprisingly nonchalant view on life and a very touching sense of humor. This monologue is raw, crude and rough, and the main character is naive yet streetwise, anarchic, funny and witty.

Governor General’s Literary Award-winner Emma Haché has written this piece under a commission from Le Trunk Collectif. It is scheduled to première on April 14th, 2010 at the MAI (Montréal, arts interculturels) with a run of 5 shows in French and 5 shows in English.
