The Little Boy Brown Exhibit is proud to present, an intimate collage, titled: “Why The Scars Remain.” Comprised of over 30 journal entries, artistic visuals and live performance.
Multi-Award-Winning, Philadelphia Poet, D’elve Je Veux III, delivers a spellbinding performance, in a 30 minute monologue, titled: “Mommy, am I broken?!” A reflection of a man in his 30’s, braving the torment of his younger self---the audience is transported to his first experiences with abuse. The disturbing misfortunes he suffers are increased many-fold, with knowledge that the abuse is received from “trusted” family friends and members of his very own family.
His attempts to cope, perceived as rebelliousness--he is shunned, and as he turns to others for help--he is ignored. We the audience, are simultaneously angered yet moved, as we helplessly witness a loss of innocence and cheer on a journey of strength and courage.
'As a survivor, I can tell you, that the scars never leave you---child abuse is not something that you just “get over”
(as many would casually, think, to suggest) but something you learn to work through.'
