What I liked

I loved the mysticism that was in the work. I loved the live music that sweeps your insides into a ball and holds on. I loved having the only Butterfly onstage and having the voices/spirits of her grandmother and mother it reminded of old African stories. I loved the gentleman coming in/out narrating it made for a different type of theatre experience that hits you in the core.

What I didn't like

Thank you for this beautiful piece of intimate theatre.

My overall impression

Well Damn! A powerful piece of theatre. It was raw, heartbreaking and full of unexpected gratitude as well. When Butterfly brought out the Anger box my heart just sunk. It was familiar, one immediately understood this very human emotion and what it can do to you if you allow it. Then each box thereafter was a humble reminder of what it means to love, to be a child and most of all to forgive when you can’t imagine doing so.
