Created and performed by award winning multidisciplinary artist Riel Reddick-Stevens and developed in House and Body’s playwrights initiative; SEX GODDESS is a theatrical mixtape that combines Hip Hop/R&B music, comedy, and heightened storytelling to explore the relationships between power, bodily autonomy, and sense of self in a patriarchal world and business.
This solo show follows Rayna, an emerging pop star who is grappling with who she is and what she wants to create. At the listening party for her new album, Rayna recalls one long, wild night that changed her life and perspective of self forever.
