Cadenza | Sci-fi Thriller

Such an ambitious project that I could totally see as an indie film in the vein of SAW. I really liked the concept and having such "normal" looking people doing such heinous crimes. I also really liked that we (the audience--doctors) were on the other side of the "mirror". I like the whole idea that we are "active" spectators as it all plays out. BRAVO! to Cameron and Soo. ... full review

Twists and turns until the end! If you like Saw or Escape Room then you'll likely enjoy this too, if you can get a ticket!... full review

This play is the closest we'll get to an episode of Black Mirror in this years Fringe Festival. With themes challenging what might make a person evil, potential future alternatives to corporal punishments, and a really compelling twist, its a fun ride from start to finish.... full review

What an insightful and genius play! Kudos to the writer/creator, Cameron Chyun and director, Soo Chyun, and the breathtaking cast! This play forced me to question my reality and what that actually means. I cried, felt pain, and angst for the wonderfully intricate characters presented to me via the talented cast. From the moment you walk into the theater, you are a part of the experience. This is a very deep and insightful play, completely worth your time to experience. There aren't many plays that you leave feeling like more than when you went in! Thank you!... full review

Soo Chyun knows how to do a Fringe Show! We all can learn from her and her talented son, Cameron Chyun! I felt trapped as all the characters are in this Sci-Fi Thriller. Constantine Malahias stood out as the every man yet all actors got to shine in moments. Erin Park's emotional break down, Nicole Provonsil's comic relief and Anton Nassif is his unpredictable-ness stood out as well. ... full review

A great show but not the immersive experience I expected. There were a number of twists and turns I didn’t foresee, and it was a good way to spend an hour. ... full review

I was completely blown away by this show. The immersive element was brilliantly executed, subtly woven into the fabric of the performance from the very beginning. As soon as you enter the theatre, the staff hands you a lanyard with a neuroscientist lab access card, instantly immersing you into the world of the show. The attention to detail was impeccable. Tony Kim, who played the head scientist John, was absolutely brilliant. He effortlessly set the tone of the scientist lab, blending humor with the eerie atmosphere, allowing the audience to both laugh and become fully engrossed in the unfolding experiment. The way the four sleeping criminals were displayed on stage, with the revelation that we were observing them through a one-sided mirror... full review
