Take a Leaf out of Chanje Kunda’s Book
Performance artist Chanje Kunda was suffering with stress and anxiety when she first discovered that plants soothe the soul.
She then learnt that some women in Mexico, fed up with men, were getting married to trees. Trees aren’t very talkative, but they are tall, do great things for the planet, and are renowned for their wood. Chanje was inspired and fell in love with plants.
This show maps her journey, taking the audience on an hilarious rollercoaster through social media FOMO, dating disasters, and EMDR therapy. The show features a harem of stunning tropical plants, dramatic narrative and metaphors of growth and renewal. The show ends on a climax…
