Ambitious, Confusing, Edgy, Thought-provoking, Very unusual extra avant-garde non-verbal meta-phys ed dark performance against the patriarchy, i think.

See it if You are open to a non verbal physically expressed dark vision of existence. Bored at first, I became mesmerized and am pondering still.

Don't see it if You have no patience for the really unusual and unfamiliar. A few people left but most stayed to applaud loud and long at the end.

Proving the point of pointlessness, 30 minutes = 1st intelligible word, 70 minutes = 1st use of odets' text, Waiting for godo-dets without words, Totally experimental

See it if you enjoy 3 actors rise from pile of dirt for 40 minutes, vomit regularly, then start speaking Odets text about 70 minutes in without irony?

Don't see it if you have no patience 4 experimentally posing performance pieces or zombie theater where zombies heal themselves to eventually speak cogently Read more
