What I liked

MaMa is a very strong actor and performer, never broke character once, sobbed and laughed uncontrollably, and all of it felt completely real and authentic. I loved being a part of the show’s construction by drawing cards at the top. Our show had some moments of extremely striking visuals that were a feast for the eyes. The lighting design and music really set the tone, and helped me feel totally immersed in MaMa’s world for awhile.

What I didn't like

I would love to see an even longer version of this show. I wasn’t even sure if 1 act of Dadaist theater was for me before, but now I can’t get enough.

My overall impression

Completely original and magnetic. I was locked in the whole time. Each show is different so you may want to come see MaMa do her thing multiple times.
