I’m hosting this performance at Baltic Circle on 29.11.25. Welcome!

The Greatest Performance of My Life is a durational, alternative cabaret show where performers improvise solos to songs of their own choosing. Unrehearsed and unpredictable, the show shifts between joy, sorrow, fantasy and confession. At its core lies a single show number: a motif that Sara Melleri has developed and transformed as a creative tool throughout the past decade of her performance practice.
