Neshama, an eighteen-year-old with a passion for dance, finds herself suspended from her religious school due to her pursuit of dance classes. Undeterred by this setback, she channels her energy into fostering social change within her community.
Along this transformative journey, she seeks support from a feminist birth education and doula organization, only to be confronted with a harsh reality: the organization does not align with its advertised values. This devastating betrayal shatters Neshama's sense of trust and purpose, forcing her to reassess her path forward. Amid this turmoil, she embarks on a profound exploration of self-discovery, confronting the various facets of her identity. Through movement and dance, Neshama's story in "Doula Monster" invites audiences to navigate the complex interplay between ideology and intuition, urging them to discern their own paths amidst life's challenges.
