SIGN FELT!

In a comic exploration of madness, despair, and the abyss, performer Alexandra Tatarsky channels Andy Kaufman in an improvisational coming of age tale that is part Harpo Marx, part avante-garde poetry and part quarter-life crisis that asks: is it possible that humor might save us from the horror of existence?

If Seinfeld is a show about nothing, then SIGN FELT! is a show about nothingness. Tatarsky, a NYC based writer/performer is making her Canadian premiere at UNO Fest.
