BIPOLAR KARAOKE

Due to the fire at La Mama Theatre on May 19th,
the dates, times and venue for this season have changed.

BIPOLAR KARAOKE will now be showing:
JUNE 20 – 24 @ 6.30pm
La Mama Courthouse

BIPOLAR KARAOKE is a one woman autobiography of bipolar disorder revealed through character and costume, storytelling and symptoms, and a multiplicity of karaoke performances.

“At this point let’s revisit one of the unfinished shows that I started years ago. This show was all abstract characters from my interior world, I wasn’t even in it at all.” 

 A writer reads her script to you as she writes it. An autobiography of bipolar disorder and a voice lost then found. It is told through character and costume, storytelling and symptoms and voiced in a wide range of karaoke performances. Fragments of lost scripts and songs from the interior/exterior world weave a personal history which ultimately unravels into the truth of the present moment.
