An experience for the senses - stimulating mentally, aurally, visually. Every aspect of this show was considered. You have to keep your eyes and ears open to follow along.

At times I struggled to understand the heavily affected dialogue, but for the most part, I was riveted! Thanks for a great, UNIQUE, show!...

It definitely lends itself to a dark clown show.
The 1-hr cut of Genet is simply brilliant and moves along with enough humor and physical comedy to anchor us when we get lost in the absurdity. At times I had a hard time hearing the main ringleader Archibald (Arielle Siler) and the lover Village (Gyasi Silas in a energetic and heartbreaking performance) when he was upstage, but there were some wonderful performances by Snow (played to the fullest emotional and physical expres...
