Delusions and Grandeur

A solo cello recital meets a clown show.

A cellist with long blonde hair and formal black attire sits playing her cello. Her eyes looking sideways as if on the lookout for something.
A performer with long, blonde hair sits on a chair on a black stage, dressed in a sparkly black mini dress and delicately balancing her cello bow on a single index finger. Her face looks up to the bow, looking very unsure about what's happening.
A performer with long, blonde hair sits on a chair on a black stage, lit by a spotlight and dressed in a black top and shorts. She peacefully plays a cello amid a clutter of small items and a cello case on the stage - a calm after a storm.

Don't miss this award-winning production. In a classical cello recital meets performance art jester show, Karen Hall skillfully walks the line between artistry and insanity. Featuring Suite Number One in G Major by JS Bach and personal comedic pieces crafted in Idiot classes, Karen fuses in a healthy dose of pathos as she tackles identity, expectations, and success through the eyes of a fool.
