The piece follows Baby Kendi, a girl forced into responsibility long before she understands it. The work traces her journey from early childhood where love appears in fleeting gestures into a world shaped by violence, silence, and survival.
In a world where her voice is dismissed, punished, or unheard, Kendi turns inward. What cannot be spoken lives in the body. Through movement and sound, the piece follows her from childhood innocence into a reality shaped by premature responsibility, violence, displacement, and quiet survival.
Scapegoat is an exploration of what it means to grow up unheard, and the cost of carrying what was never yours to bear.
