Wagon Tracks: A Reimagination of Feminine Divinity.
Cosmos Theatre | October 10–12
Nearly ten years in the making, Delisa Myles returns to her seminal one-woman performance, Wagon Tracks. Guided by Director Jay Ruby, this embodied storytelling charts a journey through early Mormon notions of femininity and ancestry, unraveling gender discrimination, buried sexuality, and the rewriting of feminine divinity.
Melanie Bishop’s review captures it best:
“Wagon Tracks” charts Myles’ investigation into early notions of what it means to be female, as prescribed by the Mormon church and as portrayed by her own female ancestors. Myles first inhabits the worldview she’s challenging, and then carves a path out of that view, into a more habitable feminine landscape and paradigm.
Both apocalyptic and redemptive, Delisa Myles’ “Wagon Tracks” challenges the patriarchy, dismantles gender discrimination in Mormon doctrine, uncovers buried female sexuality, sheds associated sexual shame, rewrites divinity, and rejoices in the revised feminine truth. With reinvention of the holy trinity, Myles ushers in a new day and the audience is baptized in the newness.”
🌹 Each evening concludes with a panel discussion featuring writers, actors, environmentalists, a Buddhist chaplain, and professors of Women’s Studies, Women’s History, Religious Studies, Art History, and Feminist Critical Theory. These conversations expand, reflect, and engage with the performance in dialogue with the audience.
Don’t miss this rare chance to experience (or re-experience) a work that has transformed audiences for nearly a decade.
