ALRIGHT: A Solo Storytelling Show by Nisha Coleman
Event Information
About this Event
When the 2020 Montreal Fringe was cancelled du to COVID, Nisha readapted her storytelling show for the screen along with director Stephen Maclean Rogers and musician/sound designer Pat McMaster.
Filmed entirely in an oak tree, ALRIGHT (solving the problem of living) takes you on exhilarating, nail-biting and heart-wrenching adventures. In her signature animated, humorous storytelling style, Coleman welcomes you to her world in which she cleans feces-filled bedpans, is rescued by Westley from The Princess Bride, and is locked in a Madrid train station. She also reveals her darkest days, all in the spirit of "solving the problem of living" and learning to be alright with being alive.
The talkback is an opportunity to speak to the contributing artists about the material, adapting a live performance to a digital format, collaborating from afar and filming in a tree. The screening is in English but the talkback can be in English or French. Bring your questions and your curiosity!
*Ticket-holders will receive email instructions prior to the event on how to join.
**Trigger Warning: This show deals with subjects of suicide and mental health.
