Kinfolk was invited to Okanagan Mission Secondary School to be a part of a poetry workshop and was invited back to be guests at the performances. One of the students in her performance said,91ƵAnxiety is the soundtrack to her life.91Ƶ Inspired by this line of poetry, and with permission of the young poet, Kinfolk began analyzing how to incorporate it into their performance.
91ƵWe wanted to unpack that sentence, why it [anxiety] is a constant feeling for a lot of people. It has definitely sparked a lot of ideologies and a lot of doctrines that bring confusion for people growing up, and for people trying to live. So we decided, let91Ƶs also talk about that, why we get stuck in these ruts,91Ƶ Kabunda said.
The performance is based on a riddle, which will only be answered as protagonist Kamwa Nipeta91Ƶs journey draws to a close and provides answers to the deeper questions interwoven into the concepts daily life.
91ƵOne of the important things to understand is that a paradise is still a paradise even if it91Ƶs a Dark Paradise. Darkness is always paired with negativity, but a paradise is a paradise no matter what colour it is. The universe was birthed from a thing that is considered dark,91Ƶ Ewila said.
