Definition of Man

I really enjoyed this show. I'd recommend seeing it with somebody because you're going to want to talk about it later. What I got out of it was completely different from what the friend I spoke with after the show got out of it. This is one of those special works of art where what you bring into it it really will determine how you interpret the show. They address issues of humanity - the issues that we might still carry with us even after all the world is gone. The movement in the piece is really beautiful as well. I don't want to say much more because I don't want to ruin it for anybody, but I highly recommend that you see this show!... full review

This show is a wonderful and challenging physical and verbal expression of thought provoking and often difficult ideas about the character of men and women and their relationship, with good doses of humor that serve to sharpen the deeply emotional material. Nikki Muller's often poetic script offers a perspective that may challenge ones ideas about the "definition" of maleness, and one may not always accept her premises or conclusions, (or may), but this only serves to keep the ideas in her play lingering with you long after you've left the theater. The performances are well up to the task of illuminating the words -- and words are central to the themes -- and JJ Mayes direction on the bare set keeps your attention equally well focused on th... full review

I feel that I have just experienced an intimate moment with the post-apocalyptic Adam and Eve. Jarring, palpable, intense. This is one of those rare stories that's all about words and communication and yet, at the same time, it's about none of that at all. We spend so much of our lives saying what we don't actually mean and placing more meaning on things we never say. This play lives in that notion. It deconstructs it, strips our ability to speak and articulate our thoughts "properly," and renders it all into feeling. I was so moved that I've seen it twice already. ALL THE RECOMMENDATIONS. ... full review

This is the most undercelebrated piece of theatre in the fringe this year. It belongs on the road and in a bigger space (not that the space limited them one bit, I'm confident this team could move you just as much performing on the sidewalk...they just deserve all the space) and it belongs on your to see list. ... full review

Beautiful, powerful and poetic. This inventive show is a moving exploration of human existence and how we relate to others and our world. A great show that I would love to see more of!... full review

The piece as a whole was simple and solid. It was rooted in a wonderfully colorful script and with talented actors who brought fullness and an imaginitive charm to a post-apocalyptic world. Really a special piece. ... full review

A Fringe MUST SEE!!!! They break down the core of the human existence in the most comprehensive, relatable, and beautiful way. Straight up amazing theater. They are most deserving of your time and contribution. I absolutely loved it! ... full review

Pick of the Fringe for me. Fearless in conception and execution. Nikki Muller is insanely talented and Jason Rosario is more than able to match her energy and power. I'm so glad I got to see this show. The physicality is fantastic but it's the language, in short, it's what these two are talking about (you, by the way), that sets this one apart. You're all over this thing. So, go see yourself go through it. ... full review

I found it to be interesting, disturbing, raw, real, thought provoking, and funny. A fantastic performance! ... full review

A thought-provoking experience through the psyche of humanity and what it means to be a "man." Delightful, sinful, and playful, the heartbreaking stories combined with humorous moments of dialogue provide an almost cathartic journey.... full review
