About the event

🎀 How Bono Saved My Life (Three Times)

"Hearing that song for the first time stopped me dead in my tracks and I wondered how this person I had never met knew the contents of my heart." πŸ’–

Join long-time Fringe reviewer and first-time performer Sonya Ballantyne as she recounts three pivotal moments in her life where she faced the dark abyss: at age 13, at 22, and most recently at 37. Each time, she was halted by her unwavering passion for the legendary band U2, particularly its frontman, Bono.

But how could a Catholic white man from Dublin truly understand the heart of a Cree girl from the Rez? 🌍

Embark on Sonya's compelling journey from the Rez to the astonishing Las Vegas Sphere, and discover how Bono saved her life on three distinct occasions.
