Description
What happens when childhood pain goes unheard? When perfection is demanded, but love is withheld? In this raw and deeply moving solo piece, a child invents an imaginary friend to be all the things they weren’t allowed to be…
But as the years pass, that imaginary friend takes on a life – and a rage – of their own.
A poetic and piercing exploration of identity, mental health, and the invisible scars left by emotional neglect. A journey through childhood, psychological distress, and ultimately, healing, told with coruscating humour and unflinching honesty.
