Until Death

Presented By: Nalini Sharma Presents

26 – 26 Aug 2023

Until Death is a solo theatre and clown show with a touch of circus, set in a hospital where time collapses and humans panic in moments of death and existence. Inspired by her childhood, during which she survived more than one motorcycle accident, the stories are an amalgamation of the real people (and animals) she encountered and her imagination that kept her from dying of boredom during her hospital stays. Through them she explores the tenacity of human (and animal) spirits that are fighting for their lives and discovering who they are.

This show is both hilarious and beautiful. Set in a hospital, where life is not guaranteed, Nalini manages to lightly dance between her portrayal of several distinct characters coming to terms with the limitations of existence, while each confronting death in their own ways. The characters are innocently self-possessed, and strung together their loosely connected stories weave an absurd dream, reminding you to laugh where you didn’t think you should. Nalini plays with her audience, which is so fun to witness, especially her Marilyn Merlot character! Highly recommend you see this before the fringe is up! This is a skilled writer, actor and comedian at work, exploring and expanding the realm of not just live theater, but also comedy. It’s dark, it’s deep, and Nalini took me on the ride with so much warmth and humor, I left feeling everything is gonna be ok. And also laughing to myself about Marylin Merlot!!
