Special Preview Performance to Benefit FIU Women’s Studies Center and the Footprints Foundation at the Biltmore presents the South Florida Premiere of Ruined.

A haunting work about the resilience of the human spirit. This frank, frequently funny and ultimately hopeful drama is a searing variation on Brecht’s Mother Courage–translated to a brothel in the Congo, where women are both victims and pillars of strength.
 
Footprints Foundation’s work in D.R. Congo: Paying for the surgeries to repair the Women who are survivors of rape. Educating, training and establishing a network of skilled midwives to work in rural areas- to reduce maternal and infant mortality in keeping with UN Millennium Development Goals.
