a group of black women and femmes realize their memories & perhaps their very lives depend on entering the prison behind the waiting room wall. 

inspired by black femmes, abolitionist feminists, and waiting rooms everywhere, force! is aN AFROsurrealist original work by anna martine whitehead.  

Alongside a live performance, force! an opera in three acts will emerge as A performance, an album, a film, and a book through 2022 and 2023.
