A Woman Is... is a deeply real one-woman cabaret that has clearly has a lot of care put into it. Kiki Moritsugu tells the story of herself, and of her mother, and how they interacted and influenced each other. Kiki presents different aspects of her life - her relationship with her mother, her experience with racism, and her relationship with motherhood, among others - all in a very raw and multi-faceted way that gives insight into not only her unique life, but the human experience as a whole. Additionally, she adds musical numbers throughout the show, and her voice is powerful, controlled, and versatile. From choreography to live piano to funny jokes, the show has a lot of parts to it while maintaining a consistent vision. I believe that anyone, but especially artists or people of colour, could relate to something in this show, and it is worth seeing!
