There is no story to this play. It is a roughly 50 minute monologue that brings you inside of the mind of Chichkanova, a woman seemingly deeply affected by her profound emotions and her feeling of anonymity. Kontolefa also seems to have been affected, she embodies the words so well that it took me a few minutes to realize that the play had begun and the words spoken were not her own. Her performance was upbeat and full of emotion in spite of the heat, noise and Thai festival.
I am Me is not a performance I’d recommend to everyone. And this play is different. But it’s worthwhile watching an artist perform her craft using nothing but a poetic piece of writing, her own self and the city as her stage. LAR
