Lone Motsumi

Lone Thabang Motsomi is a Motswana actress, dancer and performer. Quotes So, the piece became a kind of excavation. I had to go inward, into unlived and lived memories and emotions that I thought I already understood. And through the creative process, I discovered that sometimes healing is not about forgetting what happened. It is about changing your relationship with what you carry. I wanted to stand inside the work and allow my own body to become the storyteller. There is also something very vulnerable about being alone on stage; there is nowhere to hide, every breath, every hesitation, every physical decision becomes part of the story and I think that vulnerability is important to Kgololo I do not want the audience to feel alone in what they are experiencing. My director has been instrumental in that process because he challenged me to go much deeper than what I thought I already knew about myself and about the story. There were moments when I came into rehearsal thinking, I know this part, I understand what this means. And then he would ask a question, give me a task, or push me into a different physical or emotional space and suddenly something I thought I understood became real again.
