Synopsis
This thought-provoking piece allows its audience to take a peek into the secret world of human trafficking. It is a world masked by stereotypes, judgments, and assumptions. We look into the faces of strangers and decide that they are somehow responsible for their negative circumstances. High heels, miniskirts, and heavy makeup hide the tears of a teenaged girl forced into prostitution. Women dressed similarly desire to make money by having sex with men and have no problem sharing their bodies with strangers. A heavy accent must be a sign of ignorance and a desire to take advantage of hard-working Americans. Forced servitude exists, but not in the United States of America. Surely, a highly educated man is incapable of sexually desiring and abusing small children. The stage play Traffik challenges these beliefs and compels the audience to re-examine how they judge others.
