NAME OF THE SHOW

2008
The name of the show, "Wings of the Butterfly," is now "The Labyrinth of the Butterflies," which reflects a more active concept. The organizers want to honor both the "Butterfly Effect" and also the idea that women are active in creating this effect.

The Legend of the Chair explores one main theme of the show, how the symbolism of the chair shifted from ancient times in matriarchy to patriarchy. Today women need to excavate these lost paradigms and retake and hold on to their places in the world.

2007
The name of the theatre show was "Wings of the Butterfly."

Both the current and past names of the show honor the "Butterfly Effect" from Chaos Theory that says everything is so interconnected that the smallest action in any one place can have an immense effect elsewhere.

In the show, African-American Rosa Parks reconceptualizes the butterfly effect when she refused to give up her bus seat to a white man in the Southern USA , contrary to segregationist laws of that time.  With this action Rosa, together with the civil rights movement, unleashed a wave of nationwide protests that led to the abolishment of those racist laws.
