About Manipulate Festival: Ill-Lit
Kasia Zawadzka returns to MANIPULATE with this full production of her powerful aerial and physical theatre performance Ill Lit, using the Japanese art of Shibari (rope bondage) to explore mental health, cycles of repetition and the struggle to break out.
Obsessive inner voice that doesn’t let you be at peace. Pulling you back into your head. At times it feels like being a prisoner. It feels like drowning in thick slime, dark and cold.
And yet, at the end of the day, despite your inner suffering, you have to put your mask on, your uniform nice and clean, and get out. Go to work, school, for a meeting, walk the dog, shopping. Duties call.
We are not alone in this.
Kasia Zawadzka is one of the pioneers of world self-suspension rope performance. She has worked with some of the world’s leading rope practitioners including Kinoko Hajime, Saki Kamijoo, Garth Knight and Esinem, to name a few.
