Happyendingfication: new show by adoptee, Yami Löfvenberg, about coming out of the fog
Happyendingfication
“If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story”
Yami is coming out of the fog and she feels nothing, yup, something is definitely wrong with her, she’s sure about it.
Because this is not how the story goes, this is not the happily ever after and worst of all she doesn’t know what to wear at the end of the world, how to hug or why the TV seems to be lying to her.
An autobiographical solo written and performed by hip hop dance theatre maker and director Yami Löfvenberg.
This new work uncovers the marginalised conversation around the impacts of being an adult adoptee.
It explores trauma, stigmatization, identity and the media’s damaging portrayal of adoption.
Löfvenberg's work often tackles hard-hitting subjects with a thought-provoking darkly comedic lens using multidisciplinary artforms and this new work pushes her brilliant heartfelt storytelling to a brave new level.
