Judith

Choreographer Ashley Bowman directs the world premiere of Judith, a story of heroism, struggle, power and spirituality. Art historian and musician Kevin Justus collaborates with Bowman to adapt the ancient story from one of the Apocrypha/Deuterocanonical books of the Bible, dating back to the 2nd century B.C. Known for fusing contemporary movement, acting, and narrative. Artifact tells the tale of Judith (Illaria Guerra) and her maid (Rebekah Belanger) who go against the great general Holofernes (Marquez Johnson), under the command of King Nebuchadnezzar (Nathanael Myers). Judith places a strong and courageous woman front and center as she attempts to save her city from ruin.
