Stacey Karen Robinson: Quiet Frenzy

Quiet Frenzy is a solo show about the explosion, dispersion and reintegration of a life devastated by loss. Still reeling from the sudden death of her twin sister, LaShonda wanders into a crack of time where strangers, spirits, memory and magic collide. She descends into her depths and out of her boundaries. She rises from trauma and recollects her Self.
