I found this to be a challenging play. The abstract nature of it is reminiscent of outsider art. It is entirely unratable and it is an experience that I do not regret, will not forget, but would be hesitant to recommend. There is a loneliness to it.

The props are well designed and well utilized.

Fantastic soundtrack-- the mix was good during our set too between the dialogue and the soundtrack. Between the lighting and the abstract nature of the play the whole thing was deeply unsettling. Unfortunately a member of my group made a JD Vance joke near the end and I spent the quietest moment of the play suppressing laughter hard enough that I cried. There was some beautiful singing during that moment that seemed juxtapositional to the otherwise industrial soundtrack.

I will say that the play needs to have trigger warnings for dialogue that might evokes the concept of sexual assault. I don't think that was the artist's intention, but with the play as abstract as it is it is hard to avoid that link.

This show was brilliant-- Iwanyk is extremely talented at setting up his participants for jokes and making his own. The energy and timing from everyone involved in the production was impeccable. Improv and comedy can be very hit-or-miss; this show didn't miss. It does rely a fair bit on audience participation/crowdwork-- the emersion and how it was set up were very well done. Supremely weird and hillarious.
