 Living the Questions theatrical cabaret

coming to National Storytelling Network Fringe,

and KC Fringe

photos by John Blumenfeld

Welcome to the Cabaret of Questions—songs, stories, and poems present characters living questions both personal and political.  An experiment combining story, music, and movement.  Final questions up to you — 

Minnesota performance artist Rachel Nelson brings her theatrical cabaret Living the Questions to the 2008 National Storytelling Network Fringe in Gatlinburg, TN on and the  KC Fringe Festival in Kansas City, MO.

Songs, stories, scenes and poems introduce characters living questions both personal and political. 

Meet the devilish cabaret singer, the laid-back folk musician, the woman who has lost her voice, the Washington advisor who pulls an audience member up for a “5-minute political makeover.”  Meet the returning Iraq vet, the redwood tree-sitter. 

As their intersecting stories unfold, what questions do you want to live?  

(See audience Questions from MN Fringe Festival run in 2007 here.)

Living the Questions premiered at the 2007 Minnesota Fringe Festival.  A theatrical collaboration, it  features video entr’actes by director Kym Longhi and photographs by Chante Wolf.   The live show also features percussionist Linda Melcher accompanying Nelson’s guitar and fiddle.
