A woman on a pilgrimage building bridges between people,
exchanging stories and some hard truths she learned too late.
On October 21st, at 2pm, Rachelle Zola will perform once in Chicago, before heading South.
Rachelle is taking a walking pilgrimage, begining in Chicago on October 22nd.
She will walk 10-15 miles each day, and perform each evening, wherever she finds a host,
for whomever will join her. She has 754 miles to walk before she reaches Montgomery, Alabama:
her destination.
"This is a love story. I’m sorry I’m so late! Before we get too far in, I think it is important to note that large parts of this evening are scripted. Kind of like a… play. As I will expand on, I see myself as a case study. A study of ignorance and what better way to expose myself and what I’ve learned than in theater where anything can happen. The play is planned, scripted, and how I got here is not. I am changing rapidly, as if layers are being shed."
"This is a wondrous and unexpected love story. A tribute to the many people who have opened their hearts - granting me entry into a world of love, into community, that I didn’t know existed. I can’t imagine my life without sharing this love story, so tonight I’m going to share the process with which not doing this became the scarier option."
