Banished
Mauretia's delivery as narrator is so precise and riveting, every phrase carries such meaning and imagery, with every carefully weighted and deliciously ennunciated word for the full 50 minutes of the performance. And what a compelling script, mythological in symbolism and scope, speaking to tensions realities, relationships past present and future. And the performances and production work enveloped me as the story unfolded, simple, subtle and strong, bringing me into the mythological realm. Bravo
This is a powerful journey through mythology. I thought the effects were very moving and mesmerizing. The story and movement captivated me from the first moment to the final shot. This play is a true journey into the depths and back again. The use of props to create the effect was very well done. The story touched me and the performers embodied it so well.
Mauretia has such an incredibly creative mind and this performance really brings that to light. The story was captivating and the music, dancing, and acting brought the story to life! The performance kept me intrigued the whole time. Simply beautiful.
Huge congratulations to Mauritia Holloway for creating her immersive, lyrical show, Banished. A contemplative confluence of language, light, music and movement, creating a calming space for us to step off the street and reflect deeply on gender relations and the water-air fluidity of our existence.
Heartfelt, emotional and imaginative storytelling. A skilled, two-person dynamic that kept me memorized until the end. A must see!
Poignant storytelling delivered over a spectacular musical score supported by dance, movement, and lighting. The story is timeless, dreamlike, and suspenseful. Like all great stories, it has a satisfying ending. I noticed audience members smiling and pausing to discuss the experience as we left the venue.
This show was so beautiful!! Poetic and spell binding. I was fully immersed and carried along for the ride. The mythology is my cup of tea and Mauretia's story telling is just a treat
