Even outside the judo hall, where she trained as a child, Kitzis’ life felt like a battleground: fighting for a place, a voice, a narrative. In her first full-length theatrical work, she seeks to break out of this combative mindset, only to discover that she doesn’t know how. On stage, Corinne lays out her life’s battles on a huge judo mat: the first round is against her ex-partner, the second against her mother, and the final and hardest round of all? Against herself. The battles on stage become a coming-of-age journey, during which Kitzis searches where to direct her power, how and where to unload it, and how to learn to surrender. Through this process, she breaks life down into its universal elements: love, family, identity, and freedom.
