What I liked
Seriously, I liked everything about this show. The production and direction was powerful but invisible in a subtle way. I’ve not seen a show that combines high caliber body movement art with compelling tragedy and humor storytelling. Truly unique story architecture and perspective. Loved it.

My overall impression
Body as an Archive took me into a world I had no idea existed and it most definitely sparked conversations and research afterwards. Junru is a dazzling and elegant acrobatic artist, thoughtful and humorous actor and insightful writer. I was moved by her bright personality and positive delivery which helped me feel safe while I was hearing about a traumatic childhood experience. I can see this having wide appeal, there is an expose aspect to the story in sync with the spectrum of human trafficking and the circus industry.
