“Misa Mandigo Kelly, Marijan Pušavec and Stephen Kelly have created an inspiring work that traces Ms. Karlin’s travels around the world, exposes her hopes and fears, and celebrates her talents. It is a wonderful tribute to an amazing person.”
“The choreography by Stephen Kelly, Misa Kelly and Trina Mannino is beautifully structured”
“Mojca Majcen is a beautiful dancer and excels during her solo..”
“Mannino works with ArtBark International while based in Brooklyn, NY. Her performance throughout Alma.Sama. is steady, direct and stunning.”
“Kelly is an experienced performance artist and a seasoned performer who brings life to Karlin through her acting and being comfortable working with props. She is Alma Karlin in one scene and then beautifully performs musically on brass bowls, a gourd, rocks in a jar and with her own vocals as Trina Mannino dances.
“
“Stephen Kelly’s original sound score greatly contributes to the where and when of Karlin’s life and Paul Tran did a wonderful job of creating the various atmospheres and environments. I am sure that Alma Karlin would have enjoyed and honored by this production.”
