HOUSE OF ME - EARLY REVIEWS

HOUSE OF ME

This performance had elements of theater and magic. The gist of it was in the physical portrayal, Christian using his body as instrument. Torture within words of the poem lent itself to how he responded, at once Marcel Marceau becoming a Broadway Buster Keaton.
- Kofi Fosu – Poetry Bay

Christian Georgescu had the audience completely transfixed with his performance of HOUSE of ME at Beyond Baroque — his astounding mastery of language that was at once poetic, amusing, passionate and confounding coupled with his artful performance was a profound and unique theater experience. An inspiring, thoughtful, in depth exploration of the human condition marked with both pathos and humor. – Judy Barat, Poems! Stories! Music! at The Gardenia

Christian Georgescu foretells the tragedy of a generation so lost in high definition and online presence that it loses the ability to feel in real life.

For readers less familiar with current media and web trends, some of the lines may read like hieroglyphics. For those up to speed, the language is clever and adept, cutting deep with social criticism. The structure is primarily that of a prose poem with little regard for traditional form. Georgescu plays with the prose just as internet users play with language on the web, but his inclusion of instant message abbreviations and internet buzzwords is, in the end, much more than clever. The message here is painfully relevant. Written for a certain generation, in language only they can completely understand, this poem is an intensely critical, exceptionally crafted inside joke. Humor at its best: first disarming the reader with charm and wit, then hitting hard with truth that alters perception. – Emilia Fuentes Grant, The Pedestal Magazine It’s Animal but Merciful Review

This is a show of shows. Words really cannot express, perhaps because so many words and phrases were combined in so many totally unexpected ways, it was simply amazing. I was (literally) on the edge of my seat, mouth agape (literally)…more people need to have the HOUSE of ME experience. – CE Jordan, Storychicks
