WILD AT HART Premieres At The Hollywood Fringe!

Kamakshi Hart first heard a voice call to her 30 years ago as she was walking down a Manhattan street. It said, "You will be called upon to tell your story." About 15 years later, while studying what would become her profession, the spiritual psychologist finally faced her repressed trauma and began writing. Another 15 years of intense work and healing, a serendipitous meeting with her director Jessica Lynn Johnson, and the advent of the #MeToo movement led her to finally fulfilling that prophecy.

Wild At Hart: A Tale of Trauma & Triumph runs this June at the Lounge Theatre as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival.

In Wild At Hart, a sexual trauma survivor shares her sojourn from suffering to sovereignty. A healing journey meets spiritual wisdom with the timely power of #MeToo and #TimesUp. A tapestry is woven from a painful history with the threads of grace and intense effort that lead to revelation and triumph. Through song and story, Kamakshi brings 20 characters from her life to the stage. Her wide range of talent as a storyteller, singer and performer offers the audience the full journey from tears to laughter building the bridge to the deep well of vulnerability that we all share.

"My intent is to share my own journey in order to create a teaching platform about healing from and empathy for trauma," Hart said. "And also to spur the conversation of how to make substantive change in a culture that continues to support sexual violence towards women and children."

Hart first premiered her show earlier this year at SoloFest to audience acclaim. Hart is a stage veteran of thirty-plus years in New York, L.A. and other places throughout the country. Further, she is a master guide, counselor and facilitator in spiritual psychology, helping others gain clarity about their relationships, life paths and purpose. Wild At Hart differs from other solo shows because Hart also provides patrons with a how-to guide to moving on from trauma to positive change and true well-being, just as she does in her popular Wild At Hart Workshops, which she will offer on June 9 through the festival.

"I hope when audiences see my show they get permission to be vulnerable about their own past wounds and hurts," Hart said. "For those who have suffered sexual trauma of any kind, to feel reassured that they are not alone and that there is real help available. To believe that real healing can happen no matter the extent of the trauma. To be inspired to hear my story of pulling myself out of despair to continue on to use my experiences to help others. To feel inspired to share their own stories perhaps as a way to heal."
