Where the Flies Swarm (Poetry Reading)

July 17, 2025 - July 19, 2025

Art by Elliot

Gamut Theatre - Alexander Grass Second Stage

Come listen to Elliot share his story of exploitation through the sex trafficking industry through his artistic spoken word. Where the Flies Swarm is a collection of poems that narrate Elliot's life and experiences as a sex trafficking survivor. Most poems in the book were written during the years he spent experiencing trafficking culture, while some poems were written after his escape, focusing on hope renewal and moving forward.

Broadway World describes the performance as "not an easy or comfortable performance, nor should it be. It's eye-opening, raw, and often horrifying. To see and hear a survivor share this experience that is so often ignored - like it can't possibly happen here or to someone you know - is an experience that's difficult to put into words."

You do not want to miss this eye-opening performance of spoken word!
