“Nothing short of mind-blowing. The show is a true rollercoaster of emotions, with wonderful bursts of comedy that keep the audience captivated throughout.”

“‘Fickle Eulogy,’ is a tour de force that left not one dry eye in the house and not one person without some rib-splitting laughter to boot.

Fickle Eulogy
Sensational twists and turns and bursts of comedy are woven into this true story monodrama about losing a mother to Covid19 during the pandemic. Join Ann as she tries to cope while preparing a eulogy, sifting through memories, regrets, blame and what-ifs, going to great lengths to procrastinate, embodying multiple characters all the while seeking advice from an AI device.
How do we grieve a death that seemed completely avoidable?
The undercurrents of this monodrama bring light to modern day Hawaii, addressing how at a crossroads the United States of America is with the dangers of propaganda, misinformation and disinformation, and acknowledging the realities of what many people had to face during the 2020 global pandemic.
Fickle Eulogy is currently seeking support groups focused on grief, to facilitate connections for those in need of support and funding for such groups.
Please consider donating to the project to bring awareness to bereavement groups and to bring Fickle Eulogy to cities across the USA and English speaking communities in Europe, UK, Asia and Africa. No amount is too small.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Nikol Kollars is an American (Hawaii) multi hyphenate based in Spain since 2001. She is a published songwriter, singer and public speaker having performed on stages around the world. As a screen actress she appears in films and in various tv productions on major streaming services. In Nikol’s first theatre performance she was cast as Veronica Novak in Jocular Theatre’s production of Yasmina Reza’s “God of Carnage” opposite Alex Borstein but one week to showtime the production was shut down due to the 2020 pandemic.
Nikol was more than 5000 miles away when her mother was infected with Covid19 and died within a week. She wrote Fickle Eulogy to pay tribute to her mother but also as a means to process and explore the political and social choices that seemed to lead to her mother’s death.
