A moving tribute to the legendary singer Nina Simone, brought by Claron McFadden.
Nina is a moving tribute to the life and soul of Nina Simone, the legendary singer, pianist, writer and civil-rights activist. Through the powerful technique of heterodirection, soprano and performer Claron McFadden brings Nina Simone’s voice to life in a free and meditative re-enactment that allows for a deep and intimate connection with the artist’s inner world. Directed by Luigi De Angelis, the performance seamlessly weaves together Nina Simone’s music, political views, wounds and energy into a captivating portrait. As part of Fanny & Alexander’s mimetic portrait series, Nina pays homage to a key figure whose words and art continue to resonate with urgency and relevance today.
