Review by DOROTHY ANGELES

What I liked

What makes the play stand out is its theatrical style. Rather than presenting history as dry reenactment, it uses rhythmic drumming, stylized movement, folk performance elements, and contemporary dialogue to create something energetic and surprisingly accessible. The production shifts fluidly between humor and solemnity, making abstract ideas about literacy and cultural preservation feel personal and urgent. I love it and basket random which is interesting.

What I didn't like

Visually and musically, the show appears designed to feel immersive rather than traditionally realistic.

My overall impression

The strongest aspect is arguably its central theme: language as liberation. The story emphasizes how literacy can determine who gets power, education, and cultural agency.
