Solo Performance with Original Lyric Poetry
Yelena Divine — Creator, Poet, and Activist in the Fight Against Prostitution
Solo Performance: “My Worth Is Not Measured in Money”
Yelena Divine presents a raw and honest work that reveals the story of a stripper whose self-worth is not traded on the market. It is a sharp and precise personal journey about identity, boundaries, choice, and inner freedom—an astonishing testimony of triumph and renewal out of social channeling and gender-based oppression, with an absolute refusal to lose faith and self-worth even when the ground falls away.
About the Show
The performance is woven from a theatrical-poetic language that blends personal writing, powerful imagery, and a keen stage presence. Yelena invites the audience to come close to the fracture and the light, to silence and to voice—a delicate movement between vulnerability and strength, between confession and respectful exposure. This is not a story about a voice that lost itself, but about a voice that chooses to be heard.
