Written and performed by Sia Amma

In Search of My Clitoris is produced to empower and educate the general
public on female circumcision.

In Search of My Clitoris, a one-woman show, is a clever combination of
stand-up comedy and theater that is funny, playful and wise. Performed by comedienne Sia Amma, who has courageously and hilariously devised a comedy act to empower and educate the general public on female circumcision and to call attention to that part of a woman's body that has been subjected to mutilation.

Extraordinary poet, playwright and comedian Sia Amma presents her revolutionary show to the Bay Area. Originally from Liberia, Amma survived the coming of age ritual of female circumcision at nine years old. On a search for her most precious possession, we are led into a collage of characters and culture, blending music, dance and tradition. Listen to her story and the stories of other women and rejoice in the dance. Through her discoveries, you may find yourself becoming a part of her endeavor to celebrate. “Clitoris Celebration” Think Outside the Box is one method by which Global Women Intact fundraisers for women and children in Africa.
