Jeremy Beck’s Black Water, based on Joyce Carol Oates’s haunting novella, gives voice to Kelly Kelleher in the final moments of her life. Trapped in a sinking car after a fateful encounter with a powerful senator, Kelly’s memories, desires, and regrets swirl together in a gripping psychological portrait of vulnerability, idealism, and betrayal.

In Savior, composed by Amy Beth Kirsten, we witness the final reckoning of Joan of Arc — a teenage girl condemned for her divine convictions and revolutionary courage. Sung in trio through Kirsten’s electrifying, visceral soundscape, Savior reframes Joan’s martyrdom as a feminist outcry that still echoes across centuries.

Their stories, though centuries apart, ask the same question: What happens when a women dares to speak, lead, or love in a world determined to silence her?
