My overall impression

The idea of sex as a revolutionary principle is interesting to me and what I believe the script was attempting to expose. Especially with the protests in Brazil right now, the idea that we can use our own actions to bring about larger change is extremely powerful and something we miss in this country. What rang true in the script was the idea of a woman brought into a world where she feels freedom for the first time, how that forces her to kill her family, and how that impacts her on the other end. We kill what we are supposed to love so that we can be free. However, I did not feel like this was executed in the acting style (although I commend the actors for their committment) nor the stylized direction that was taken. I would have liked to have seen this script made truly naked.
