About the Project
In this delightful frolic through existential hell, Cristina Fernandez confronts the humiliation that is life. Revel in this absurd remix of theater, stand-up, storytelling and clown-part performance, part gloriously chaotic confession.
On Godless:
“Fernandez is a performance artist of high caliber, effortlessly embodied.”
“Cristina is an excellent performer. Her movement is so beautiful and graceful even during the stupidest moments."
