"The show was a theatrical experience and I enjoyed and admired so much of what was happening throughout the performance, from the orchestration of the sounds, made by the actor’s footsteps, the unfurling of sheets of paper, and the manipulation of umbrellas in rhythmic timing; the color and style of the costumes; the variety of shapes inhabited by the actors… the layers of detail in the construction of the piece was particularly impressive: actors on many architectural levels each focused on a variety of specific actions and forms, the video and sound design adding to the inherent sounds made by the actors and their actions, all cohesively integrated and timed seamlessly. The specificity of direction was essential to creating the effect the piece had on me in the audience. I was impressed and inspired. My attention was induced to go further and further into the piece, and at every level, there was a gift, a surprise waiting for me. Very intelligently, thoughtfully created and presented with high quality and artistic integrity."  -- Audience member "The Un-making of Toulouse-Lautrec"
