What I liked

What I didn't like

My overall impression

What is the nature of humanity when there is no more humanity? Can our personal fears and relationship insecurities stop us from connecting even when there’s only one person left to connect to? How can you trust someone to help bear your weight when they may not be able to bear their own? These are some of the questions explored in a truly impressive movement/character piece featuring great performances and effective staging. I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I first sat down, but by the end of “Act One,” I got it and the show took off and got real deep real fast – I was expecting the ending to… well, let’s just say that the performances and story were so intense that some serious carnality occurring on stage wouldn’t have shocked me. In the best possible way. Thought-provoking with incredible physicality – check this out!
