Runner Girl

Lara Grace Ilori

A deeply intimate, rhythmic journey of self-discovery—one that tries to not run from trauma, but moves through it to discover what remains, and specifically, who remains, waiting on the other side of it all. Runner Girl is a raw and relentless story of a young woman who misses her Mum, a young woman whose been running from young, in more ways than one - but in this case, her routinely jog takes a terrifying turn when she’s followed home, triggering long-buried wounds she’s fought hard to keep hidden. This starts her on a path she was determined to not travel: visiting love lost, old wounds opened, and new truths given space to unfold. Runner Girl is an exploration of poems and prayers, rhymes and rhythms, confessions and declarations. Join us in witnessing the courage it takes to stop running away, and start running towards a version of self that can finally pause, breathe, sit and listen.
