Written and performed by Kamakshi Hart at the Topanga Library on November 15th and 16th at 2pm
A wanderer in the oaken wood is lost. She looks. For a new life direction? Some flash of clarity, a fresh chapter that redeems one that’s ended? She vaguely remembers a place called Wonder from her childhood, and she goes on a quest to find Wonder again.
Solo theatre artist, Kamakshi Hart, brought her show Resilient AF! to Corazon Performing Arts in 2022 and played it before a sold-out audience. Her first show Wild at Hart won the Encore Producer’s award at the Hollywood Fringe Festival in 2018. Now, Kamakshi brings her third one-woman show to the Topanga Library. Viewers will journey into nature’s transformative realms where creatures and beings both seen and unseen reside. Part Narnia, part Middle Earth, inspired by indigenous wisdom honoring every sacred “rite of passage” that life offers, Kamakshi creates a memorable cast of characters to show us the way back to wholeness, inner peace, and Wonder.
Also a transformational coach and relationship counselor, Kamakshi Hart describes her general philosophy which ties her work and her art together: “I am a lifelong student of human nature as well as of Wild Nature. A traumatic childhood and the resulting toxic stress give rise to a ‘survivor syndrome,’ a perpetual vigilance where acute observation skills are formed. The paradox of life: how our pearls form under great pressure, the beautiful lotus flower blossoms from the muck below and what has borne out in my calling to help others heal: my ‘mess’ has become my message.”
This event will have free, open seating. The show lasts seventy minutes, and there will be a talk-back with Kamakshi afterwards.
