49/51: Balancing the Comedy and Tragedy of Life

A born-again father and a New Age mother equal a teeter-totter existence. One clown dances on the edge of her psyche trying to balance her life before Judgment Day. Its a struggle between good and evil, depression and elation, Jesus and James Brown. Natasha Kaluzas autobiographical tale features theater, dance, and circus.
