I Dream in Colour
She wants this surgery, but doesn't know how to put herself first.
‘You’re fighting for equal rights or some such shit, and that’s the problem: I’m still fighting for the right to exist.’
Sophie has a choice: surgically remove her one remaining eye containing a tumour, or risk eye cancer. Again.
No brainer, right? But from invasive medical interventions to sexual assault to social ostricisation in her community, Sophie has been shown over and over again that she does not matter. Not to mention her parents have done everything to save this one eye...
It is a choice between her and her parents’ wishes: can she start valuing herself this time?
Shortlisted for the Charlie Hartill Award, I Dream in Colour is a semi-autobiographical, one-woman show exploring the intersections between disability, race, gender, and the tumultuous relationship we have with our bodies and ourselves when we straddle the margins of multiple minority groups. Weaving storytelling, stand up comedy and spoken word, it seeks to ask the question: how do we navigate a world that reminds us every day we should not even exist?
