SHRAPNEL
Through ridiculous and heartbreaking personal stories, Shrapnel is a celebration of Natalie Gamsu’s strange and fearless journey from growing up in a Jewish family in Southern Africa (Namibia) during apartheid, to performing in underground clubs in Johannesburg during the state of emergency, through psilocybin spiritual journeys into past lives, to arguing about tinned fruit in a customer service centre in Melbourne.
Gamsu searches for meaning through diabolically funny anecdotes of tsures (the Yiddish word for troubles) in an extraordinary, funny and deeply moving performance, featuring songs in Yiddish, Spanish, and English.
Co-written with Ash Flanders, and directed by Stephen Nicolazzo, Shrapnel showcases Gamsu at her finest.
Feedback/Comments
Enmotional and engaging the audience
Great!
So well acted and performed. Gamzu's storytelling took me back to very similar memories of my childhood in South Africa as a Jewish young girl in Johannesburg. Nostalgic, funny and true to life. What a powerful persona. Thank you.
Poignant, emotional and raw. Great connection with the audience.
Executed brilliantly. What a privilege.
If I could give 10 out of 5 stars I would. What a character! This one-person show is UNFORGETTABLE. Cabaret, story-telling at it's finest. I will be telling all my friends - absoluteion.
An extraordinairy piece of story telling and character transformation.
Fabulous
