What I liked
The humor and audience participation at the outset of the show made me laugh to give me ample time to prepare to cry hearing each generation’s love, laughter, and heartbreak. Really well written ensemble character work all performed by an amazing solo show!
What I didn't like
I loved the initial projections of “going back in time” with the New Years framing device. I wanted more of it because it was done so brilliantly! Especially to delineate time changing between each generation as the changes happen rapidly
My overall impression
This show was brilliant and made me cry (in a good way) and laugh and find humor in the unexpected. A story about breaking cycles, finding oneself while reconnecting with family, and a multigenerational discussion of one daughter discovering her mother, grandmother, and matrilineal roots and power in the wake of her mother’s death and trip back to her family village.
