The story of Muyehpen has been passed down for generations by the K’nyaw (Karen) people of Burma. Known to be the most beautiful K’nyaw woman in her time, and possessing supernatural powers, Muyehpen was kidnapped by the king of Siam and became a sacrifice. This is her narrative of resistance and resilience, which lives on today.Written by Ehkhudah Zar, this is the first-ever theater production by a K’nyaw playwright in the U.S. and shares the story of Muyehpen with a new generation. This is a free community event, but reservations are required. The play is performed in English.
Age Recommendation: This is a retelling of a traditional K’nyaw story and all ages are welcome. There is a reference to a sexual assault.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
This event is free and open to the public and registration is not required, but attendees are encouraged to RSVP. Tickets are not required for admission.
