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.
From the show:
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. From a tango to a devotion to onions; to conversation with stones and the stars above, This Is Why We Live is a celebration of the complexity of human existence and the poet herself, one of the greatest voices of the 20th century.
