“You’re not black enough!”
“You’re not femme enough!”
“You’re not queer enough!”
“You’re not disabled enough!”
“You’re not able bodied enough!”
How many ways can we be told we are not enough?
Why do we internalize these messages?
One day India Harville decided that she had finally had enough of people telling her who she was. She just got sick and tired of people writing narratives on her body. But once India decided she had to tell her own story, she was shocked to discover how many ways she had internalized the idea that she wasn’t enough.
In this solo show India flips that script and claims her “enoughness”. But that reclamation process isn’t always easy! This show is a voyage through India’s unexpected journey to discovering her worth using a little bit of dance, music, poetry, ritual, and a whole lot of magic.
