“17 minutes. That’s how long it takes to die by train. I looked it up once.”
Chilufya – you can call her Chili – doesn’t know whether she is coming or going. Which makes perfect sense since her name literally means ‘the lost one’ and lost is exactly how she’s felt most of her life. Her low self-esteem and high insecurities lead her into the arms of Paul, whose increasingly dangerous control over her life drives a decline in her already fragile mental health. Paul’s influence on Chili’s life soon becomes so far-reaching, she loses herself completely. Intertwining spoken word poetry with Zambian oral storytelling traditions, this work-in-progress show is a dark comedy about how to find a way back to yourself when you are feeling lost.
