I struggled my whole life 'how to be just me', the world around me stuck layers and layers of 'their labels on me' and made my search for myself almost impossible, they joyfully contributed to my misery.That's what made me, earnestly search for a craft to re-frame my life-story, to make it bearable for me to live with myself. And voila! I bumped into spoken-word-poetry and physical theater.Come and listen to me as I take you all on an emotional-roller-coaster- journey through the landscape of my mind and heart into my past. Peep into the colorful tapestry of my soul as I weave my life-together with stories, poems and spiced up with physical theater. You will meet 'little Rosie' in late-1970s, far away in the Eastern Himalayas, as she grows up to 'an angry Rosemary' wondering around the world. I will introduce you to adorable but highly eccentric-characters from my family, as I bring them magically alive through my poems.This autobiographical piece has helped me to copyright my life-story. I have claimed my life back, and now- only I have the copyright to my past.Come watch me! Come watch my story!(Please note that the show will start at 9 PM,
donations are welcome and appreciated).BiographyRosemary Kikon originally comes from Nagaland, a hill state in Northeast India, bordering Burma in the Eastern Himalayas.
