Description

A live, personal encounter with one woman’s lived experience of self-administered home dialysis. Writer, performer, and kidney patient Leah Lewis invites audiences into her home via livestream for a unique “performance”. Hooking herself up to her dialysis machine, Leah offers us a window into a life-maintaining medical procedure, and simultaneously, into her own life, as she weaves an intimate story about isolation, relationships, mortality, resilience, and identity. Leah’s vivid, personal storytelling is supported by evocative visuals, resulting in a fascinating, funny, touching and utterly unique show.
