Alisha's Light – Forever 57 takes the audience on a journey through Alisha’s first year of living authentically. Find out how a cheeky decision to seek a little bit of happiness on the eve of her 57th birthday snowballed into a personal transformation. She morphed from a reserved writer who feared rejection into a vibrant performer eager to have her musings instantly judged at poetry slams. Using spoken word poetry and theatrical storytelling and reenacting pivotal conversations with her spouse and mother, Alisha urges each audience member to question: What small change can help me find my best self?

Part of Calgary Fringe - multiple dates A soul travels down to Earth and is split by the Infinite Shadow. Soul needs to find their other half in order to manifest the soul mission of the Changeover - Limitless Light taking over the Infinite Shadow. Infinite Shadow keeps trying to prevent this from happening, using the Trauma Spirit and Soul Consuming Succubi to prevent this. The unborn child soul, spirit guides, past lives are all guides for the souls to connect. The Souls connect through music, orgasm, ecstatic movement, and the Divine Cord slowly magnetizing towards each other. However, will they meet, or will the Infinite Shadow keep them forever-isolated and forever-drained by the Trauma Spirit and Soul Consuming Succubi? Weaving together live music loops, poetic sound art pieces, video art projections, ecstatic movement and storytelling, this is an epic romantic spiritual fairy tale that is a holy, unique, awe inspiring and moving theatrical experience. https://tickets.calgaryfringe.ca/event/366:233/ Playwright: Eli Matilda Ridley Director: Eli Matilda Ridley Cast: Eli Matilda Ridley CONTENT ADVISORYSubtle references to sexual abuse, Adult Language, Subtle reference to birthing trauma (stillbirth), Sexual Content, Spiritual trauma references, Subtle references to violence and suicide.
