What I liked

An amazing show all around. The writing was thought-provoking and honest without pretending to know how to solve the world’s problems. Despite that, it reassures the viewer that connection is a good place to start. The thematics and messaging are clear and connect the vignettes with ease. The performers were well-cast and brought their own personal power to each of their roles, and the transitional moments were well-choreographed and supported the thematics without breaking the action.

What I didn't like

There felt a slight disconnect between performers and their roles in the most difficult character moments, as is to be expected when the content is frighteningly relevant.

My overall impression

A visceral experience in blending poignant, relevant storytelling with the exact form of delivery being commented on (as a virtual audience member). A unique and worthwhile performance that encapsulates the many questions of the day without burdening themselves with the lofty goal of answering them.
