Black Sheep - Jacksons Lane Events - The Home of Contemporary CircusAfter moving from Germany to London over ten years ago to live and work in a more diverse community, renowned sword swallower, circus artist and dazzling burlesque artist Livia Kojo Alour learned that life-long feelings of self-hatred and otherness are part internalised racism and part survival techniques. With a successful career under her stage name MisSa but tiring of playing someone else full-time, Black Sheep has been long in the making, serving as a candid autobiographical work and a euphoric reclamation of Livia’s identity and ongoing fortitude. ★ ★ ★ ★ 'Her voice, on versions of songs such as I Put a Spell on You and Wicked Game, is rich and enveloping.'

Suitable for ages 14+ The performance on Tuesday 15 November will be BSL interpreted [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXVruReNZYw[/embed] Photos: Yannick Lalardy, Sarah Hickson
