Two Worlds is reclaiming our identity through the arts! We are guided by shared Native experiences and we strive to develop ways of telling our stories through honest and creative expression. Our ensembles will continue to discover and give voice to the visions and stories of Native and Indigenous people around the world through performing, educating diverse communities, and providing mainstream culture with a positive representation of Native and Indigenous communities.

This year’s featured play is: “Beauty Way: Into the Matriarchy”. This play will be performed 5 times as the centerpiece of the festival. An interactive storytelling and multi-media performance featuring the narratives, experiences, and cultural history of Matriarchal Native and Indigenous and Chicana Women. Narrated by Spider Woman, a traditional Navajo deity; she unwebs the stories of these women who come up against everyday personal struggles, self-identity, and inequality in the world.

This production has been in works since 2017 and has been featured in several conferences such as Native Women Lead, Taos Storytelling festival, Q-Staff theatre, and The National Day of Racial Healing.

Beauty Way: Into the Matriarchy will be accompanied at the festival by several staged readings, conversations, Q & As, talkbacks, remarks, refreshments and more.
