In the Lounge I Digress, a performance memoir in progress Sauda Aziza Jackson

About This Show

Sauda Jackson weaves together personal tales from her childhood with the media and memorabilia that defined her past in this multimedia performance piece: part memoir, a sliver of music, a quarter bio-drama, and a dribble of her own special sauce.  I DIGRESS, a performance memoir, explores the weight of inheritance and the recollection of memories and material things once lost to time.
