Clever, Ambitious, Exquisite, Great staging, Profound

See it if you want to be floored by incredible puppetry and a supremely moving story, but be warned: it's dark. No bad seat in the house.

Don't see it if you don't want to think at a show. You want something upbeat and comedic. You don't like seeing scenes depicting war.

Resonant, Riveting, Fascinating puppetry, Exquisite storytelling, Magical

See it if delicate balance of puppetry, story, action, color & light intrigue U, dance like precision & grace contrasted with war would thrill U

Don't see it if if cloud of war even contrasted with beauty & hope defeats U, if reality is all U can believe in
