What I liked

Her character work was very sharp, it was very clear who each character was while not seeming too over-the-top or exaggerated. The stage design added a lot to the ambience. The comedy related to her outsider status worked well while also serving the story, especially her experience dancing at a wedding.

What I didn't like

N/A

My overall impression

Azo Safo has a crafted a stupendous show, both fun and endearing as well as educational. Her struggle to fit in is real, but her attitude toward her situation is always upbeat and uplifting. The amount of hope and ultimate selflessness was evident throughout, and the final message of living in the moment resonated strongly. At the core of her show, and Azo as well, is hidden in plain sight at the core of the show’s title: heart. She fills the stage with hers, and it’s hard not to have your own warmed after watching.
