Near To The Wild Heart at New Stage Theatre

Near to the Wild Heart
by Clarice Lispector
Translated by Alison Entrekin
Adapted & Directed by Ildiko Nemeth

Near to the Wild Heart is a multimedia theatre piece that evokes a rich, expansive female interior in dramatizing the life and passions of its heroine, Joana. Wandering through the corridors of her mind, Joana sees her memories manifest alongside her imagistic, abstract thoughts. Dwelling amidst the poignancy of a lonely childhood and her own resistance to the concept of conventional marriage and happiness, she strives to embody a version of herself on her own terms.
