shedding skin until i’m translucent: a multimedia theatrical performance
shedding skin until i’m translucent: a multimedia theatrical performance exploring trauma, patriarchy and transformative healing
Wednesday November 17th @ 7pm at the NorthStar Center!
This is River’s debut as a solo performance artist. This performance is intended to tell the story of zir experiences as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse in a way that reconnects the pain and isolation to the broader context of a living, changing world in which painful emotions can be released. It will also name the connections between zir personal experiences and broader oppressive forces in ways that point to the possibilities of deep transformation, and create healing and empowerment for River and the audience.
The subtitle could have included additional items such as queerness, resilience, ecopsychology and biomythography but it seemed to be long enough already.
The show will include poetry, creative non-fiction, music, and (hopefully) video. Obviously, the show involves some intense, potentially triggering topics, so please be aware of that.
