What I liked
The depth and truthfulness. The feminine vulnerability and power that’s woven throughout. The tight storytelling and the rabbit hole she brought me into.
Stellar writing, performance, directing, and choreography.
What I didn't like
Since I saw the preview, I would suggest turning down the sound/stereo a little bit to be able to hear Olga better at times.
My overall impression
Electric. Olga Konstantulakis’ one-woman show evokes the spirit of Like Water for Chocolate, erupting into a fever dream of poetic dissociation, resilience, and love. Written and performed by Olga alone, it carries you over a visceral landscape of honest clarity and tender heartbreak, leaving you laughing, crying, and, at moments, gutted— your heart in hand, begging for relief. Her writing is as enthralling as her performance is powerful, drawing you into a world of rich characters that make you fall in love with every aspect of her story. At its heart, this is a deeply personal story—tracing the layered journey of a girl’s wise soul to the self-reckoning of a powerful woman who ultimately surrenders to her own destiny. See it once, and you’ll need to see it again, as it will follow you home. Bravo, Olga, and thank you for your courage!
