In Performance: Joaquina Kalukango of \'Emotional Creature\'

Last week we introduced “In Performance,” a theater video series featuring actors performing excerpts from their new shows. The first video was from the actor Aasif Mandvi in a scene from Ayad Akhtar's play “Disgraced.”

This week's video is a scene from Eve Ensler's “Emotional Creature,” a show of songs and spoken-word pieces about the problems facing young women around the world. In this excerpt the actress Joaquina Kalukango plays Marta, a young woman in Congo whose afternoon shopping with friends is violently disrupted by a group of soldiers.

Over the next few weeks watch for perform ances by Shuler Hensley (“The Whale”), Michael Learned (“The Outgoing Tide”), Jackie Hoffman (“A Chanukah Charol”) and others.
