See it if you like mimes. Women animate well, classic-style. Not sexualized, not "updated" just pure classic stuff. Kids would like, too
Don't see it if you don't like silent physical comedy. Also, can get too surreal/confusing at times. Mostly makes sense.
See it if you enjoy miming and clowns. If you didn't think you could relate to a clown, you'd be surprised.
Don't see it if mime make-up scares you - or if you need dialogue to see a play.
See it if You like thought provoking shows and original music. If you love clowns, don't miss this!
Don't see it if You only like shows with dialogue (there is none in Born!) or if you don't like to think!
See it if you need a good laugh
Don't see it if no reason...it's a Must See!
See it if you want to laugh and be delighted
Don't see it if you have no soul
See it if You want to laugh and be moved.
Don't see it if You don't like original work.
See it if you want to be taken on marvelous theatrical journey
Don't see it if you don't like rednose clowns
See it if Are open to the creation of a new genre, and enjoy honest emotion with gorgeous music.
Don't see it if You just want something traditional and obvious.

"'BORN' does not try to make a grandiose claim of solving the 'hard problems' in life, or to intellectualize the existential questions the ensemble clearly makes continuous attempts to explore. Instead, these four clowns offer their vulnerability and perform in the most basic form of storytelling. It is refreshing to see something of so much depth conveyed with effortless simplicity."
