Adoption

Dizzi’s story reveals how a practice meant to help often ends in human trafficking and exploitation. Dizzi challenges the idea of adoption as a noble act and invites you to look beyond the surface. At its core, adoption touches on universal struggles that we all face, whether we are adopted or not.

Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis is a biological process in which an animal undergoes significant changes after birth or hatching. This often involves a dramatic and sometimes sudden change in body structure through cell division and growth. This idea of transformation and great change is a powerful metaphor for the profound changes that come with adoption. This performance delves deeply into the often invisible side of adoption, a subject that has been misunderstood and romanticized for too long.

This performance is not just a story; it is an invitation to face and reflect on the painful truths of adoption and human trafficking. It is about exploring the real impact on the children and families involved and questioning the so-called ‘better life�� that often feels like a lie. With a passion for music, theatre and Sri Lankan culture, Dizzi brings a heartfelt performance that combines powerful music, visuals and movement.

Metamorphosis is not just a performance; it is a journey to the core of adoption and attachment, revealing truths that are often overlooked.
