This is an hour of pure intense genius, maybe the most original hour of acting I've seen in Hollywood, and it's all one guy.... full review

Wild abandon are the words that come forth. But, where this show could easily have become be a self absorbed, free-for-all, Perez's performance is skillfully crafted/guided by Eric Johnson. Just when you think the mad, passionate, rant will churn into something unintelligible, it drops in and beautifully takes the audience along. The fiber of Klaus' life is woven, unraveled, and rewoven. And by the end, there are a few loose threads you'll still wish to pull. ... full review

Andrew Perez creates a mesmerizing portrait of legendary actor Kinski as he literally shape-shifts into the body of this force of nature. Perez is an alumni of Northwestern as well as Steppenwolf, and his tools as an actor and performance artist are on full display as he creates a one-man show to rival even solo masters like Hal Holbrook. I saw the show Saturday with a good friend who had worked with Kinski two decades previous on a film in Rome ("Crawlspace") and--having gotten to know Kinski somewhat on location--his assessment was that Perez absolutely nailed Klaus' persona, behavior, and interior life. Well worth seeing before it disappears after the last show on the 23rd...... full review
