and interesting. I thought it failed at dwelling into any depth. I think
surrealism sometimes works better when you don't explain to the audience
what's going on. There wasn't enough mystery. Things were weird, but nothing
really fucked with your head, like a good surrealist play should.

5review = Diving and surfacing. I felt underwater. The images somehow seemed
very far away although we were in a small theater. It was like seeing them
through the cloud that comes down over your eyes after doing narcotics that
somehow makes everything seem clearer. The sensousness of Salome, of things
partially covered rather than being fully revealed. I loved this show. The
slowed down dream like quality even when the actors were being manic. Sounds
filtered through cotton candy. The sense of a moment lasting for eternity.
I would have liked to stay in their world drifting a while longer.

the festival, so I have to fight the urge to just go back and see THIS again.

5review = Brilliant performances make this esoteric script work beautifully.
The play is basically a series of references to surrealist art and inside
jokes about surrealists, and while it is extremely cleverly written, it
would not captivated me without the dynamic performances of an ensemble
cast who clearly reveled in the material. The wonderfully campy portrayals
of such surrealist luminaries as Bunuel, Dali, and Tzara had me balled up
with laughter. A must-see.

Wonderful use of space and props. Entertaining, funny cast. Salvador Dali
