| Description |
 "Love: a kiss unfolding into a castle, a dream where you're flying... or falling off a cliff, where you can surrender to an embrace and find yourself trapped! But if you could break up with somebody, right at the beginning, see how they behave, it would take a lot of the guesswork out of it, wouldn't it?"
Winner of the Best Female Solo Award at the San Francisco Fringe Festival in 2004 ("some life") and 2006 ("This Lily Was (Fontana)"), Mia Paschal returns to the San Francisco Fringe Festival with "Along the Path of Larks and Swallows", a poetic and darkly comic exploration of love.
A tornado of a show, a big French kiss with a bite, "Along the Path of Larks and Swallows" is a rollercoaster ride through the sleepless nights, the overwrought romantic flights of fancy, the tormenting insecurities, and all the silly, embarrassing, wonderful things we do to ourselves and each other - as we look for someone to love us back.
Critics' and audience reviews:
"Focusing this time on matters of the heart, she delivers another beautifully written and performed show. Whether she's cheerfully delivering crisp aphorisms... or delving into the nitty-gritty of relationships gone bad, Paschal's forceful stage presence can be hypnotic. What I like so very much is the way that she can hone in on little bits of life that all of us experience but never bother to articulate." (Donald Munro, The Fresno Bee)
"I feel at a loss to do her fantastic performance justice in a review, so I offer just these words: intense, deliberate, dreamy, poetic, rhythmic, entrancing, human in every sense imaginable, profound, and tornado (this last word her own, but a perfect descriptor).... phenomenal." (The Undercurrent)
"...a journey through love and life with her, bobbing and weaving through uncertainty, abandon, heartache and hearts home. ... I felt she had dived into my heart and soul, plucking out all those private triumphs and tribulations. But really she's just acting out the truth of our collective, yet unique, experiences of romance, lust, comfort, belonging, and longing for connection. Her voice was her own, and yet it could easily have been mine, or that of the person sitting at either side of me." Joy Mohler
"The theme is (among other things): Love. She nails it." Eric FieldNOTE: No one under 18 years old will be admitted.
