Synopsis

LUCKY ME! is an interactive devised piece that investigates the ideas of self-control and bodily autonomy through the lens of chronic and autoimmune illness and invisible disability. In an effort to exhibit control, creator and type one diabetic, Allie Marotta, attempts to manipulate her own blood sugar in real time on stage while readings from her continuous glucose monitor are projected for the audience to view. Audience members will participate in a number of moments throughout the piece, creating a different experience every time.
