holy holy: the birth of disco

What I liked

The dreamlike quality of the story and movement, the strong images, the balanced ensemble painting in shades of individuality to create cohesion. The cream colored slumber party dreamy sexy big-hearted energy. I think this ensemble’s relationship to femininity is so exciting and full. The pillow fight scene was simply hypnotic to me. The tent is such a simple and effective piece of set. It really feels like this ensemble plays to every performer’s strengths. They all have their moment. They’re the kind of troupe that I want trading cards of. They’re so different from one another but perfectly occupy the same wild reality. They are an ensemble who really knows how to listen to one another. There was this sense of exciting softness, edgy love. I’m so happy I got to see this.

What I didn't like

I want them to have more showings of this. And I want trading cards of all the girls.

My overall impression

A perfect ballet of soft madness and pastel slumber party erotic dreaminess. Physical theatre in shining peak form and ensemble work that shows a mastery of collaboration.
