Mesmorizing and spiraling
This show grabs you and brings you into a stark, cold, glittering world that spirals out in front of you. Their use of space and physicality is brilliant and beautiful — Pladson is an incredible mover and performer and the ensemble is sharp, clear, and thorough. They leave nothing on the table. Wonderful show!
Company: SUPERMOON
Show: the statue of liberty is nora in a doll's house by henrik ibsen
Venue: Rarig Stoll Thrust Theatre
Beautiful, eerie, and striking
Supermoon never fails to amaze me with their arresting concepts, mesmerizing images, and brilliant light and sound. This show brings you into it's own dollhouse, where everything feels strange and false—and also entirely too real. It forces you to examine America from a different perspective, through Nora, through it's own debt or cage, built upon a pedestal, or fallen from it. The cast is wonderful and all bring their own humor, strengths, and even styles of acting, which really makes the aspect of debt collection in the story stand out. Certain images have really lived on in my mind afterwards—the door, the dolls on a screen, the dress, and the last moment. Plonski's physicality at the end was chilling. An incredible piece of work and there is nothing and no one like Supermoon in the Twin Cities. I have always and will always appreciate their creativity and their dedication to greater themes brilliantly told through surrealist imagery. What an honor it is to be in an art community with them in it!
