What I liked

Everything!

What I didn't like

Nothing!!

My overall impression

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…
