What I liked

Harley’s genuine connection with the audience, the shadow puppetry, the audio recordings of Harley’s grandmother (I mean, wow), and the nuanced exploration of generational trauma and healing.

What I didn't like

Nothing. Literally nothing.

My overall impression

What a beautiful show this is. Honest, sweet, dazzling and tender. Harley’s storytelling is simple but spellbinding. The technical elements are utterly mesmerizing. I really haven’t seen anything quite like it. Do not miss this show!
