Flag of EveEve, the biblical-ancient female archetype, rises from her submissive, seduced silence; in protest against demonic violence. The first mother who witnessed one of her sons murdering the other, followed by a brutal bloodsong of millenniums, is cracking open like a split earth. Her prayer is a multitude of voices; streaming as fluid in the veins of mourning and resurrecting. Prayer as an action of deep-rooted trust, demanding a radical shift of vision and attention to repairing, healing and being joined in spirit. An undercurrent rising, rebelling and striving for life and aliveness, Flag of Eve emanates oneness as a message beyond difference; from our primary existence.

"To attend the show 'Flag of Eve' is to accept being immersed in the raw power of grief and the transcendence that accompanies it. Maya M. Carroll delivers a work of imagery, poetry, and depth, with the delicacy of a knife blade and the brutality of a dream. Throughout the performance, Maya takes us through a myriad of images as profound as they are powerful, into which we allow ourselves to be carried, accepting to be shaken to the core. The invocative power of her dance serves a message of grief and honest love from which we do not emerge unscathed. The Flag of Eve is the kind of show you see once in a lifetime, and which leaves a lasting impression. This solo is not only magnificent, but essential in the world we live in today" ( - Marie Desoubeaux, choreographer and director of the platform Présomptions de Présences, France)
"Maya M. Carroll gives us a profound account of a woman's experience in the face of the absurdities and aberrations of violence (war, genocide, fratricide). She points out what we do not want to see. In a slow process, scene after scene, she takes us, with great tact and power, into the starkness of incomprehension, anger, pain, and mourning of a woman in a long silent cry—like a prayer. This must stop. We become respectful of this silence, of this sharing, appalled that what gave rise to this piece is still happening today. And the way this work affects us is not seductive. It is precise and profound. Flag Of Eve is a topical piece. It is based on the feelings and vision of an artist in our current world. And for that reason, it needs to be seen now. A profoundly simple piece, unvarnished and beautifully performed, which brings us together in an intimate place within ourselves."
