A group of Black women and femmes realize their memories & perhaps their very lives depend on entering the prison behind the waiting room wall.
Queer and dreamy, ambitious and angsty, and inspired by Black femmes, abolition feminists, and waiting rooms everywhere, FORCE! is an original work by Anna Martine Whitehead in collaboration with Ayanna Woods and a constellation of radical dreamers.
