My overall impression

This show felt like being inside someone’s dream. From the moment Paris takes the stage tap dancing we can sense that while the air is cheery for now, something darker lurks in the wings ready to reveal itself. Slowly through various dances and carefully chosen narration, Paris reveals bits of story that are wonderfully specific, yet don’t linger too long to overwhelm the flow. The whole show is like watching a hand slowly open to reveal its cards. Paris Moon does a great job of delivering enough detail so we can hook into the drama, while also keeping it poetic – giving us the freedom to fill ourselves into the empty spaces. But beyond Paris’ astutely curated storytelling, I think the real gem of this show and what makes it really sing is Paris’ incredible ability to live in the moment, to feel her emotions honestly as if it were all happening right there. She is nothing less than captivating to watch.
