THE PRODUCTION

Calla Lilin is a dance performance and character created by Skye Smith. Calla Lilin is a daughter of Lilith born to expose the modern day woman’s struggle with the patriarchy. Lilith is a well-known feminist archetype in Mesopotamian and Judaic mythology. Skye dives deep into her personal struggles with body image, addiction, and postpartum mental health. She aims to bring awareness to societal demands placed on every woman. The isolation of the pandemic caused her to start a journey of healing from her own demons. In this process, she encountered the following societal demands every woman encounters: the beauty and diet industry, alcohol and drug culture, and unrealistic expectations of new mothers. These
societal demands are roadblocks every woman will face on the journey to loving herself. Content warnings include: nudity, body dysmorphia, addiction, and postpartum mental illness.
