Blending performance poetry and shadow puppetry, “My Flesh” is a three part poetic prose piece which begins with a celebration of the artist’s fat body despite societal hate, which then explores the grief and healing that happens as a cherished body unexpectedly changes without intention.
Please join me, Arkay Adkisson, and my creative partner August Wolf, as we bring our collaborative work, MY FLESH to St. Louis for the first time. It is a delight to debut this long form poem of body celebration, transformation, and healing which is combined with the shadow puppetry work of August Wolf in our home base of Saint Louis!
We are so grateful to our hosts, STL Fringe Fest for our inclusion in this years festival!
We have a late night show on Thursday 8.14 at 11:15 PM and two daytime shows on Saturday 8.16 at 1 PM and Sunday 8.17 at 2:30 PM
The show runs 25 minutes, and afterwards there is a talkback session at Urban Chestnut Brewing Company 3229 Washington Avenue. It is a 3 minute walk of 500 feet which is mostly flat. The theatre is fully accessible, with seating in chairs with backs.
Tickets are $16 plus tax $17.22 total
You can also purchase a hopper pass which will grant you access to several shows at a discounted price.
