What I liked

This piece will transport you. Haley’s exploration of time, memory, nostalgia, and family lineage is masterfully captured through striking visuals — it is like nothing I’ve seen before. Her storytelling is as charming as it is heartbreaking, and “healing through art” has an entirely different meaning for me now. The light design, set design, and sound design was so immersive. I am beyond impressed and amazed that she could so completely transform this tiny black box studio with just a 10 minute load in time!!! It is a thing of magic.

What I didn't like

Perfection.

My overall impression

Simply SPECTACULAR! Transformative and entirely original! This is a fringe must see.
