Wild At Hart: A Tale of Trauma & Triumph

REVIEW: This show was the 14th one we reviewed for our Larry Cornwall Award, and it was a true image of beauty. Kamakshi Hart has a beautiful voice, whether chanting her mantra or singing out show tunes. Her story, although full of pain and trauma, is told so beautifully that the audience can’t help but be uplifted by her unquenchable spirit and her ability to triumph over that tragedy. Of all the #metoo stories at this year’s Fringe, hers is the most touching and powerful. Johnson has once again left her mark upon an actor with this compelling tale of incest, rape, and abuse and the ultimate freedom obtained through dealing with that trauma and learning how to help others faced with similar pain. Hart’s ability to bounce back and conquer her shame is an encouraging story and model for us to emulate. We are so thankful that we had the opportunity to take that journey with her and to be able to apply it to our own personal battles. Do whatever it takes to see this one.
