What I liked
To start, I loved the meta elements and moments where I was questioning what was reality and what was the show. I love that by the end of the show that question didn’t matter.
It was cohesive as fuck. There wasn’t a moment where I was like “what the fuck am I watching” even though it had so much potential for confusion. You were able to really captivate the audience well & have them understanding the complex dynamics at play. WHILE STILL BEING FUNNY!!!
I love grief. I love the moments where you know that you don’t want this to feel like a therapy session— but then, you start feeling better after turning to community. For me that was a pivotal moment of the show. For me that is what grief is. What is grief if you just sit in it alone? It will swallow you whole if you let it.
My therapist always said I was really good at sitting in the sadness, and asked me to wonder what it would be like to engage with the sadness. That moment has stuck with me for YEARS. Because she was so right, I was so good at crying in my room and wallowing rather than doing something like writing a script and engaging in a one woman show with the grief. That’s the healing medicine— engaging with it. Something that is so scary for most people that you are choosing to do. I think that’s what I’m the most blown away by. That cannot be easy and letting us see that was incredibly beautiful.
madi is the .001% if I’ve ever fucking seen it!!!
