Carla's Confessional Cabaret Presents THAT'S LIFE
Directed by award winning director Vince Fusco, THAT'S LIFE invites you to reflect, laugh and shed a tear.
On August 11th, 2016, Carla's mother vanished from her regular life, leaving only a card and a million unanswered questions in her place.
THAT'S LIFE is a stunningly honest and intriguing work of cabaret-theatre that holds the events that followed Carla's mothers disappearance under the magnifying glass. Carla guides the audience through the subsequent months of enquiry and discovery of her family story, with poignancy and agency.
With a deft sense of timing and disarming humour, THAT'S LIFE looks at life, loss and family in an entirely new light.
