Nora Armani leaps Back on the Couch to take fans on a magical journey of self-discovery

MANHATTAN, N.Y. - Nov. 11, 2021 - PRLog -- This funny and poignant tour-de-force, written and performed by Nora Armani to worldwide acclaim comes back to New York after a short absence, this time to audiences on Theatre Row as part of the UnitedSolo Theatre Festival 2021.

Armani is an Armenian-Egyptian-French-British-American woman embarking on a journey of self-discovery in her self-penned one-woman show revisiting her adolescence on the banks of the Nile while settling accounts with a long lost love. Sharing her inner world through laughter and tears, she invites us on her breathtaking odyssey of belonging, searching, and finally discovering herself.

"I am excited to revisit this work that is such a personal story, after several years, where a lot has happened in my life personally and in the world in general. Therefore, it was impossible not to take all those changes in to come up with an updated version. So here it is," said Armani.

Stories from pre-1915 Anatolian summers passed on to her by her grandmother are evoked and mingle with Nora's own personal reminiscences of her childhood and adolescence in Nasser's Egypt, her desperate need to belong somewhere, her peregrinations through the world, and poignant experiences that have forged her identity shaping her into the woman she has become today.
