| Synopsis |
Invisible Child is an exciting, imaginative and very contemporary Dance/Play written and performed by Lisa Barri, a longstanding actress in the New York theater community. The play tells the story of Ginger, a woman who wants so desperately to please her mother and the outside world that she loses herself in the process. Her story is told through a series of monologues in which a variety of characters emerge. Each character has a different effect on Ginger's life so that through the course of the play it becomes clear why she is so lost. Ginger lacks the emotional support from anyone who can see her for the person that she is.
Because of sly manipulations, verbal bashing, physical attacks and lack of acceptance, Ginger lives her life to please everyone but herself. To please others she becomes a prosecutor, leaving behind the only connection to Self that she knows - her love for painting. She has deluded herself into thinking that through the legal system she will be able to help people, but because she does her job so well she causes a woman to be sentenced to death row. She had never intended for anything like that to happen and in a moment of epiphany she realizes that she can no longer live the life she's living. She discovers that she cannot get the love or acceptance she desires from pleasing another person and becomes determined to follow her own dreams. |
