MisSa Blue talks about her experiences growing up as the only black girl on the block in Germany. Born to be the unpopular black sheep, slowly morphing into a resentful underdog just to rise like a phoenix while changing the world around her. MisSa unpacks stereotypes like christmas presents under the tree and taps into the collective long lasting trauma brought upon black people during colonialism lasting on till today.
A mix of spoken word, video, Burlesque and singing
Trigger Warning: Nudity, racism
Artist statement:
I have been working on the idea of the show since November 2018 when i got tangled up in severe online drama over speaking up against cultural appropriation and racism in show business. It was the fuel to decolonise myself and develop a new -my own - language on stage. Little did i knew just how relevant my work would be on it's official release date.
