Mind Blown
Instead of mind blown, can I say heart blown?
Being Norwegian is a fresh respite from all of the knee-slapping, outrageous and off-kilter comedy that is so rife at the festival this year. Everyone is trying to tickle the funny bone.
This program is heart-wrenching. Thoughtful. Awkward. Sloppy. Imperfect in a world that expects societal perfection.
This 45-minute show offers a small glimpse into two people's lives that intersected one night, and how loneliness and guardedness can become vulnerability and connection through courage.
Thank you for this beautifully scripted, mature presentation. I cried, and I was glad to do so.
