What I liked

Harley’s sincerity and love.

What I didn't like

Maybe even more movement or puppets or props during a few of the stories without them! but also i loved the stillness so much!

My overall impression

Truly cried several times because of how treasured and holy Harley made the stage feel. She made each object sing with how intentional and slow she moved them while talking with her lovely grandmother through the recorded interviews. Puppetry really can be magical and transformative and Harley shows this well. I feel like I got a deep peek into her soul and I loved it!
