Baring It All @ NAFA 2024 - A Cabaret of Naked Truths - 3/10/24

Astrid Duke’s one-woman show is an intimate cabaret-style performance in which she divulges her adult journey of self-exploration through storytelling and song. She bares her soul - not her body - to promote awareness of mental illness and wellbeing.

Astrid’s musical pieces are honest accounts of her experiences: managing her mental health, questioning her identity and self worth, receiving a diagnosis from her psychologist, dodging narcissistic romantic interests, finding Mr Right and becoming a wife and mother.

Supported by backing tracks of original material, Astrid is a capable singer who can carry a tune well, however, she also communicates her story with her expressive face and smile, movement and a dazzling costume.

With moments of humour sprinkled throughout too, this performance encourages audience members to take stock of the positives in their life, and evokes feelings of gratitude and appreciation. Astrid can certainly teach us all something about self care and wellbeing.
