Hold Me Down
a one woman autobiographical musical
as told by Jackie Yangyuen (she/they), a queer, non-binary, Filipino, Thai and Chinese songwriter, actor, and kinky human.
Through bondage, she found freedom.
“Her movements became still as her body learned that nothing could be done to escape the pain. She gave herself to the pins, the needles, the possibility that I could be a horrible person.
It wasn’t resignation or helplessness.
It was trust.
It was acceptance.
It was peace.”
A peek into rehearsal. Movements are improvised.
