Ginava, diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder, grapples with maintaining control as dominant alters vie for supremacy over their body and mouth.

Split Lip takes audiences on a journey through the exploration of trauma and its impact on mental health, presented through the unique medium of spoken word lip-syncing.

This is Ginava’s first
“one Person” show.
