Whose Gonna Love 'Em? I am that i AM
22 November 2023 – 03 December 2023 Tower Theatre
Malthouse Theatre,
New Writing Theatre Poetry
Written and directed by Kamarra Bell-Wykes, Whose Gonna Love 'Em? I am that i AM is a post-traumatic performance thesis, winning the 2021 Patrick White Playwriting Award.
Starring Maggie Church-Kopp, Corey Saylor-Brunskill, and Maurial Spearim, accompanied by a live improvisational score by smallsound, Whose Gonna Love 'Em? I am that i AM is an absurd group therapy session held somewhere in the deepest cells of the collective mind and the colonised heart.
"Poetic, psychic journey: conceptually innovative, flawlessly executed and some of the most exciting new theatre I’ve seen."
