To Quell a Storm

To Quell a Storm is a solo transdisciplinary performance that weaves together personal narrative, cultural heritage, and embodied storytelling. Rooted in themes of memory, identity, and resilience, it explores the intersections of diasporic experience and collective healing. This piece evokes the internal and external forces that shape personal journeys of transformation through a combination of movement, spoken word, and immersive elements. The solo channels these seen and unseen tensions to create a visceral experience that invites audiences to reflect on their own stories of survival, heritage, and renewal. It is a journey through chaos and a meditation toward balance.
