Conditional Love

A two-act theater/dance/post-modern burlesque performance about learning how to love.

“Conditional Love” is a two-act performance installation about learning to love yourself and to accept love from others. This one-person show includes campy humor, themes of aging, the pain of feeling inadequate, awkward sensuality, joy, and most importantly LOVE.

ACT 1 is an optional pre-show installation that includes visual art and interactive elements. Jakki will perform one-on-one Love Card readings on a first come, first serve basis. Come for all or part of this self-guided Act.

ACT 2 combines performance art, theater, dance, and post-modern burlesque to tell an anachronistic story of learning how to love. Conditional Love is a love letter to anyone who has every felt inadequate, exhausted by the patriarchy, or just nostalgic for the 90’s. If you love gossipy diary entries, dance parties in your bedroom, or watching someone engage in an epic battle with their nemesis the bodyshaper, this show is for you.
