Soul of the Hurricane: The Perfect Storm and an Accidental Sailor

Nelson Simon is a writer and performer. Originally from La Paz, Bolivia, he was a long-time collaborator with the choreographer Susan Hefner and the composer/percussionist Michael Evans, with whom he created performances and videos that explored the human situation with wit, irony, and lots of pratfalls. In 2006 Simon led a team of interviewers and facilitators from StoryCorps, the national oral history project, to New Orleans to chronicle the life of the city in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In 2016 he created "The Accidental Sailor," the storytelling performance on which Soul of the Hurricane is based. He lives in Brooklyn.
