Karen Moore
Film, Musical Theater, Theater
Inspired by Nina Simone’s “Four Women,” this soul-stirring solo performance fuses poetry, film, and live storytelling to honor the lives and voices of four archetypal Black women. On stage, Dr. Karen Moore weaves truth, rhythm, and fire through powerful spoken word, while on screen, the women emerge in vivid cinematic portraits.
A poetic requiem and a multimedia invocation, Kindled by Nina is both personal and political—a ritual of remembrance, resilience, and rebirth.
Come ready to feel, remember, and rise.
With over 100 offerings from rebellious circus, delicious dance, fearless theatre and activist art to workshops, parties, and more Cannonball pushes the boundaries of live performance at four different venues this Fringe. Come as you are and stay past bedtime at cannonballfestival.org.
