What I liked

The show simultaneously had the energy of something that had been philosophically and intellectually honed and perfected, while exploding extemporaneously in front of your eyes. There was somehow both an element of danger and one of control, where anything was possible yet you also felt you were being guided towards the inevitable. Turns out it’s fun having a madman as your tour guide.

What I didn't like

I wouldn’t change a thing. I would love to experience it a second time to see how different audience responses trigger different narrative outcomes.

My overall impression

Wildly original, beautifully absurd, singular in its execution. Rich with both large ideas and spontaneous moments that will stay with you for a long time.
