What a gorgeous, fearless, soulful, and ethereal solo show! Beautifully poetic. Olga Konstantulakis SHINES on stage while portraying so many dynamic characters. The director Elina de Santos achieves this delicate balance of seamless precision and deep tenderness throughout the show. So impressed by the sound design, specificity of colors and the use of physical choreography bridging the gap when words can fall short…Chef’s kiss! Not to be missed.... full review

This was a very touching story that evoked a wide range of emotions, including happiness, sadness, and anger. Beautifully told from the perspective of a young child through adulthood, the narrative was both engaging and thought-provoking. It opened the door to important conversations about religion, relationships, and the lasting effects of emotional and psychological abuse. The story’s depth and honesty made it both impactful and memorable. I highly recommend this show to anyone who enjoys character-driven stories that explore complex family dynamics, personal growth, and resilience.... full review

A tour-de-force performance by Olga Konstantulakis, celebrating the challenges and rewards of motherhood. It is also a meditation on family as she re-creates her Greek parents and holds a portrait of herself growing up under their guidance in Montreal in the 1970s. Dramatic, funny, heartbreaking and deeply human, Olga's journey reminds us of the challenges and celebrations of BECOMING A PARENT. Highly recommended! A+A+A+... full review

Electric. Olga Konstantulakis' one-woman show evokes the spirit of Like Water for Chocolate, erupting into a fever dream of poetic dissociation, resilience, and love. Written and performed by Olga alone, it carries you over a visceral landscape of honest clarity and tender heartbreak, leaving you laughing, crying, and, at moments, gutted-- your heart in hand, begging for relief. Her writing is as enthralling as her performance is powerful, drawing you into a world of rich characters that make you fall in love with every aspect of her story. At its heart, this is a deeply personal story--tracing the layered journey of a girl's wise soul to the self-reckoning of a powerful woman who ultimately surrenders to her own destiny. See it once, and yo... full review

This is the kind of show that every Fringe Festival should aspire to have on its roster. A raw, honest, courageous telling of an original story with depth and insight, beautifully told by an expert storyteller. It's delivered with conviction, humor and a compelling honesty by the very talented Olga Konstantulakis, who doesn't miss a beat in this solo performance. From beginning to end it's lean, to the point, no wasted moments, no fluff, all power. I'll be seeing this again. The bar is set high for LA Fringe 2026. Don't miss this show! ... full review
