Spirit Freak in association with Fringe Management and Walazama

A spiritual traumedy. A series of mysterious debilitating seizures and a freak elevator accident send actor Dede Lovejoy on an off-road scavenger hunt for healing. From sound baths to bean diets, this deeply personal solo-play traces one woman’s unconventional recovery, as she flips the bird to western medicine and swan dives into otherworldly remedies to reintegrate body, mind and soul. A mystical post-traumatic stress fantasia featuring bad choices, safety tips, spirit guides and shamanism – with cameos by polyamory and the patriarchy. Written and performed by Dede Lovejoy (The Wire, The Blacklist, Daredevil: Born Again).
