“Body of Water” - Performance and Community Conversation with Sara Nesson

Sunday, August 18, 2024, 4 p.m. Eastern Time

Body of Water is a chronology of love, loss, and reconciliation that follows Sara’s journey as a landlocked distance swimmer struggling to find the way home. Set on the rugged coastline of Northern California, the 25-minute monologue weaves lyric storytelling, myth, and sacred text. Playful and poignant, it is an homage to Sara’s aquatic nature, her passion for the wilderness, and a life altered by ME/CFS.

Register for the August 18 Sunday Conversations

Sara’s performance will be accompanied by a conversation about longing, loss, hope, and healing. A recording of the presentation, not including the discussion, will be available briefly after the event, but only for those who registered for the event, and will not be posted to the MassME website.
