I arrive via bus, I'm prepared for a variety of feelings, of sights and sounds. I'm excited. Many friends will be there, many friends are sharing their work I've seen grow and develop and solidify and clarify and discussed over so many months. The work has now become and I can't wait to be audience to it.
This show was dark from the beginning, the cast members were spit upon and sent out into a field of dead plants. Like a disclaimer, these people began the show as damaged, soiled or disgraced. The field actually looked like more fun than the front where that dick was spitting on everyone. It was a pretty gorgeous show everyone was really attractive.
I get a huge bang out of seeing a space transformed and On the Boards satisfies my itch every time. KT Niehoff''s Collision Theory "The Finale" was staged (excuse the expression) perfectly.
I came to this show knowing that everyone was naked and they were feminists, really not much else. I had heard the director liked to take things to the extreme which sounded exciting. I haven't had much experience with feminism directly, although I have had some experience with nude performers.
We’d like to hear from you. What did you think about the show?

Lighting. Illumination. How do we, as the storyteller, illuminate/reveal/share information? How do we, as the listener/viewer process that shared information? And how to we deal with that information we've processed? Do we need to see something in order to feel it?
