I BELIEVED IT TOO

I Believed It Too, is Kashia’s most recent solo work that premiered at Triskelion Arts. This work that asks "When the curtain closes, who are you?". It is a solo about a woman trapped inside of a destructive false reality she is desperate to escape from. She’s experienced it so long that it seems real to her. During the solo she sheds a multitude of performative layers while facing several battles and illustrating numerous realities and characters that represent the world she’s trapped inside of. We see her go on an unraveling journey that begins to strip away at the act she’s been trying so hard to keep up with.

As she struggles to maintain her mask of illusion, her perception of reality becomes distorted in many ways. Tackling topics of imposter syndrome, heartbreak, and deep self reflection - Is any of this even real?
