MONSOON, A MUSICAL TRILOGY

Book, Music and Lyrics by Erin Kamler

MONSOON, A MUSICAL TRILOGY is a three-part musical series by award-winning writer-composer Erin Kamler about human rights issues in Southeast Asia. Drawing on a decade of original research and fieldwork, Kamler’s trilogy tells the story of Emma Gable, a young American human rights worker who journeys to Thailand, where migrant sex workers and missionaries clash around the ideological crusade to end human trafficking; to Burma, where women’s rights activists work against all odds to bring peace to a country crippled by endless civil war; and to the remote Andaman Islands, where ecological degradation and development threaten the future of the land, sea, and all who dwell there.

Inspired by in-depth field research with NGOs, UN agencies, women’s rights organizations, members of government and civil society, MONSOON illuminates the struggle, sacrifice, and resilience of the activists and international aid workers who have made this part of the world their home.
