The second act had a stillness that made every small movement matter. The corps were beautifully together without losing that eerie, drifting quality. I would be curious to see a different production.
The storytelling in the first act was wonderfully clear. The transition into the second half felt like stepping into a completely different temperature. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
