A BROWN PAPER SACK WITH AN ORANGE AND A ROADTRIP

I’ve been thinking about the love artists have for craft – making art in a recession is a beloved act -- and in the last two days I have had a chance to be witness to a good dose of that fist sized organ that beats inside anyone who dedicates her life to the kick of the creative. Thursday I saw Ramona King’s one woman show (which is still running—through this Sunday). It’s titled “Maternal Dreamer #2: Living the Dream,” though if I had my druthers I’d call it “Welcome to the World I Learned to Love Early.” Ramona is a consummate storyteller, able in a quick posture change and with a deft facial expression to become a young boy, a cousin’s husband, a grandmother, herself as a young girl. Here, in a well integrated, balanced, and coherent story, we travel through time and bear witness to her lineage--never does the world hold so much hope as rising from the despair of a child’s innocence. This show is transcendent—a beautiful tribute to loving life. An orange in a child’s sack lunch, a cellophane window in cardboard doll house, choir recital, a conversation with a father in the back of the car… and a mother going out to the store while her children play up the road and down the road for as many years as it takes to salvage the story and reunite with truth. Ramona’s show had me leaning forward in my seat, hanging my own hopes for living well on her words. If you catch the show, you catch a glimpse of great generosity, what we all also hear every time she hosts Spoken Word Hour on KUNM.
