My overall impression

This was beautiful and important.
The show plays with the entire spectrum of color and light and emotion, and the lighthearted moments are just as important as the heavy ones. The lighting design was clever and made a good use of the space. The props were fantastic. I wish that there had been more time for the pre-show, but I suppose this is the nature of fringe fest (i.e. very little time in the space before a show starts). Some of the softer-voiced actors were a little hard to hear, but this only happened twice and briefly.
I recommend that you sit it in the front row. Not because there is a bad seat in the house, but because it’s worth it. Trust me.
The message that this show leaves with the audience is one that not only should be said more often, but one that needs to be said more often.
This was exactly what I seek out in theatre, and I left the space feeling awakened.
