Daunted by the news of the world? Come relieve your heart and mind as Nina gets up on stage and through movement-fused storytelling conveys the personal, political and social events that have transpired over the past 24 hours with striking insight and her always unpredictable rendition of life on planet earth. She has been described as a cross between Lily Tomlin, the Dalai Lama and Jules Feiffer. And audiences repeatedly report they have never seen anything quite like one of her performances before — that they are at one instant laughing so hard they are falling off their seats and the next moment moved to tears. Don’t miss this soulful entertainer whose work is steeped in wisdom, compassion and humor.
“At the heart of this piece is a redemptive message: that the small acts and hopes of individuals can stand against the overwhelming events of history.”
— San Francisco Chronicle
“No mere talking head, Wise possesses a supple physique, prodigious energy, and nerve with which to render the shapes and souls of things. Lovingkindness abounds in her work.”
— Village Voice, New York
