Inside Open Scene’s VIDA at Fringe ArtSpace

Artistic Director, Thamara Bejarano, emphasizes the production’s commitment to delving into the essence of existence: “VIDA is not just a theater production; it’s an immersive experience that delves into human emotions.” She adds, “At the heart of this artistic piece lies an exploration of what truly matters in life. Do you know what it is? Self-love.”
The backbone of VIDA lies in its meticulous research, led by Bejarano and Mariela Saad. Their collaboration, enriched by the insights of mental health counselor Victoria Henry, LMHC, lays the foundation for a narrative that resonates deeply with audiences.
The talent of choreographer and performer Ana Cuellar, whose tenure at Cirque du Soleil’s La Nouba spans 14 years, infuses each movement with grace and strength. Accompanied by the compositions of Charles Griffin and the soul-stirring melodies performed live by Dr. Jamie Clark, VIDA is set to engage the audience. The show also features illustrations by Danish visual artist Lisa Aisato and artwork by local artist Ellen Pestili.
As the lights fade and the curtains draw to a close, VIDA is set to leave an imprint on the hearts and minds of all who experience its transformative magic.
