A groundbreaking work of American theatre, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow Is Enuf is a “choreopoem” that weaves together poetry, dance, and music into a singular, transformative experience. Through the voices of seven women—each represented by a color of the rainbow—the play explores the complexities of Black womanhood in a world that often ignores their pain and their joy.
From the vibrant streets of Harlem to the quiet corners of the soul, these women share stories of love, abandonment, resilience, and reclamation. They navigate “dark phases as their only reality,” only to emerge with a fierce, collective strength. It is a raw, unflinching, and ultimately celebratory journey that moves from the depths of a “metaphysical dilemma” to the heights of self-discovery: finding God in oneself and loving her fiercely.
