The Trouble with My Hair: Coloring, Cutting, and Coming into Who I Am, written and performed by storyteller and solo performer Ada Cheng, is an intimate exploration of her gender, sexual, and racial identities and boundary-making through her evolving relationships with her hair and her stylists. Blending theatrical storytelling and narrative art, Ada Cheng playfully brings the audience on an emotional and thought-provoking journey of self-discovery and self-love through her struggles with her hair. Using her hair as a metaphor, she explores the relationship between the self and community/society and the question of navigating the tension between autonomy and social constraints. This solo performance is developed with and directed by Jessica Lynn Johnson.
