Shamaniac – A Spiritual Traumedy at Mint Studio, Greenside @ George Street

Shamaniac is a solo show written and performed by Dede Lovejoy, directed by Joy Donze, marking Lovejoy's debut as a playwright at the Edinburgh Fringe. Lovejoy transforms her own extraordinary experiences into a deeply personal and unexpectedly funny work, in which a series of mysterious seizures and a freak elevator accident send her on an unconventional search for healing beyond Western medicine. Guided by shamans, spirit guides, sound baths and alternative therapies, the show offers an intimate and humorous exploration of resilience, transformation and the search for meaning. Lovejoy is known for her screen roles including Rhonda Pearlman in The Wire, Cynthia Panabaker in The Blacklist, and Daredevil: Born Again.
