Cara Vita: A Clown Concerto

Cara Vita: A Clown Concerto is a solo physical theatre piece which explores the joys, sorrows, and hilarity of romance, relationships, and child-rearing. Created and performed by Felicity Hesed, this comedy offers a uniquely female perspective on the struggles of maintaining ones identity in the midst of family life. Cara Vita: A Clown Concerto incorporates live music, circus, and magic to spin a whimsical tale of love and loss. Felicity Hesed is joined on stage by violinist Clare Armenante who creates an invigorating and masterful soundscape. Felicity Hesed developed this innovative and interactive show in collaboration with award-winning Director Jeff Raz. "Cara Vita" is both a deeply personal and universally human story.

"Cara Vita" will have only ONE San Francisco performance before heading off to Asheville's Fringe Festival and London's VAULT Festival. This performance is also a fundraiser for the tour.

"Felicity Hesed is an absolute delight... thoughtfully, playfully, lovingly, joyfully taking us along for the ride." -- Steve Smith (Emmy Award winner, Clown Hall of Fame inductee, and Big Apple Circus Director)

"Felicity Hesed's 'Cara Vita' is a cleverly crafted solo piece incorporating music, clowning and movement into one thoroughly entertaining show. Filled with fun surprises, Heseds sharp comic timing will keep you laughing and wondering what will come next. But underneath the silliness is an achingly sincere exploration of marriage and motherhood as seen through the eyes of an artist, asking a question that many can relate to: what happens to your art when life gets in the way?" -- Genie Cartier (Founder of Bow & Arrow Circus Theatre Collective)
