Circus City: Black Sheep – By Livia Kojo Alour
Fusing physical theatre, spoken word & song ‘Black Sheep’ is the story of a queer Black woman finding love, after retiring from her full-time job as sword swallower. The story is taking the audience on a journey from overcoming institutional racism to leaning into radical vulnerability.
After moving from Germany to London over ten years ago to live and work in a more diverse community, Livia learned that life-long feelings of self-hatred and otherness are part-internalised racism and part-survival techniques.
With a successful career under her stage name MisSa, but tiring of playing someone else full-time, ‘Black Sheep’ has been long in the making, serving as a candid autobiographical work and a euphoric reclamation of Livia’s identity and ongoing fortitude. Performed with live music by Andrew Sinclair John.
