WHAT: No
WHERE: Eastwood Performing Arts Center (Main Space), 1089 N Oxford Av
WHY: Because No is a fully embodied physical piece that pulls you into a guttural experience. Because it makes you question how we engage with our own inner thoughts, how we use our voice, and what it means to stand by what we believe in. Because this isn’t just performance… it’s conviction made tangible.
Because this piece doesn’t fit inside a box. It stands in a category all its own. Because I’ve never seen an artist have such a raw, exquisite relationship with a microphone. Because every gesture is dynamic, intentional, and speaks volumes.
Because the way Annalisa moves through space with awareness and connection is a
marvel. Because her fluidity is like a swan, and yet every moment is grounded, deliberate,
and unshakable.
Because this is the kind of work that reminds you: Saying no can be a complete sentence, a
political act, a reclamation.
