Very original and fun staging, Great fusion of puppetry and video, Relevant, Funny

See it if you enjoy experimental puppetry and video, appreciate the pointed, absurdist humor and commentary about the strange world we live in

Don't see it if you don't enjoy loud noises, strobe lights, and lo-fi stagings.

Puppetry for the 21st century, Multi-media, Thin, Confused, Fun

See it if you want to see one direction for puppetry in the 3rd decade of the 21st Century.

Don't see it if you need a clear plot (this one feels confusing & confused); you want a full-length show (this lasts 45 minutes). Read more

Edgy, Confusing, Ambitious, Quirky, Intense

See it if you'd like a technological mashing of light, video and sound with puppetry for adults. Lots of energy in this piece-fun to watch executors.

Don't see it if you want a comprehensible story or do not enjoy loud presentations with shaky video and changing sets and lights.

Intense, Indulgent, Ambitious, Disappointing, Confusing

See it if It's sort of like if the Shining starred cell phones and was awful. The only positive I have is that the staging was sort of impressive.

Don't see it if It's a mess; loud, confusing, & projected onto screens by cameras that can't adjust to shooting bright cell phones. It tries hard. And fails
