On the heels of a major childhood event, K. Lorrel Manning’s LOST…FOUND takes you on a soul-searching, delightfully human roller-coaster ride through music, unlikely heroes and the Artist formerly known as Prince. It is presented by New York’s The Barrow Group (17 Minutes), and co-directed by Lee Brock and Christine Cirker.
An autobiographical story, LOST…FOUND is about the catharsis of the truth and using art to heal. In writing and performing this play Lorrel finally shared his story with those around him and revealed what he had always considered his deepest darkest secrets. Through baring his soul and putting a stop to feeling ashamed of his past, Lorrel shows us the power of art.
So many people suffer in silence and don’t know how to begin their own process of healing. This brave story is about a person trying to find the light among the darkness and using his love for music to save his life. Filled with beautiful snapshots of the joy and freedom of youth, real world trauma and a record player, audiences are transported to Lorrel’s living room, dancing, healing, and letting go!
Writer performer K. Lorrel Manning says, LOST…FOUND has been a life-changing experience for me. Every single audience has been amazing! Every single show has been therapeutic on some level. I’m connected to the audience in a way that I never have been as a performer. It’s been an honor to be able to share my story and have it resonate with so many different people.
Co-director Christine Cirker comments, This story and artform are proof that art heals! Experiencing this work will change you.
