fuckin loud

FUCKIN INCREDIBLE! with this show, m. imani west embodied the landscape of their mind so vividly and so intimately that the performance has lingered on in my psyche for days now. their ability to switch between 'characters' so seamlessly, to feel and express such vulnerability on a stage (not to mention their incredible singing voice) -- ranks them amongst the greatest actors of our generation. so much so that you wonder, is this even acting? or am i seeing you?... full review

This show was so impressive! From start to finish, I was completely captivated by the talent, creativity, and sheer brilliance displayed on stage. Everything from the acting to the music to the lighting was flawlessly executed. I loved how everything was in service to the writing of the piece, like the set decorations seemed totally random and chaotic when you walk in the theater, but everything on stage ended up being a crucial element to their performance. This is a show worth seeing for sure!... full review

AMAZING PERFORMANCE! fuckin loud is a really well executed solo stage performance, it breaks the 4th wall in a way that we as an audience become part of the world, which is the mind of the performer, but we are also still given the chance to build the world up on our own heads. m's performance is effortlessly, they are a great storyteller!... full review
