Combining physical theater, live music and clown; two actors and a cellist bring to life the ironic and astonishing poetry of Nobel Prize winning poet, Wisława Szymborska. Performed in three languages with original musical score throughout, the play awakens us to the poetic state of wonder and a fragmented humanity with incredible insight, humor and precision.
Read What Audiences Are Saying:
“a highly successful experiment proving poetry’s ability to transcend cultural and linguistic boundaries—and even make the leap from page to stage"
"Honest, Exploratory, Poignant"
