What I liked
I loved going into this show blind and being taken for a ride, and watch as it corkscrews in from the theoretical/hypothetical realm into the deeply, deeply personal. The anecdote about the pianist who by happenstance improvised their masterpiece really reminded me of the power of letting go and being present and trusting fate. Obsession can only get you so far. There were so many enlightening moments like that, where Greg let us into his process, and showed us the beauty in taking it all apart and letting us see that the journey is the destination.
What I didn't like
This should be on Broadway!
My overall impression
What a beauty. This was such a moving, emotional story that was right in my wheelhouse. Greg is such a compelling writer, and is able to unpack so much and weave in so many seemingly disparate threads (postmodern italian literature, identity, indoctrination, international crises, family crises, perfectionism around the creative process…) into a singular personal story with an emotional undercurrent that we all can relate to. It left me feeling very reflective and grateful for my life, and looking for ways I could let go of the things that no longer serve me and examine other areas where I could be more of service to a greater whole. Just wild.
