Written and Performed by Elena Mazzon
Directed by Colin Watkeys
Clara brings to life the extraordinary story of Romantic era feminist icon and ground-breaking classical composer Clara Schumann. No, not Robert Schumann – Clara Schumann!
Created and performed by Elena Mazzon, this intimate play explores Clara’s fascinating and complex life, delving into her career and relationships as she gets ready for a date with none other than the famous Johannes Brahms.
Incorporating live music, Clara takes an unusual, eye-opening look into the past to reflect on questions of identity and challenges women still face today.
