“
A compelling theatrical portrait of an artist and her relationship to the intersection between inspiration, creativity, addiction, substance abuse, and the people around her. Trip's journey and connections to Meredith and Nyx are engaging to read about. Erzulie and Trip's connection is, however, the central point of interest and artistic innovation in this piece. I loved how Erzulie was a metaphor for more than one thing--creativity, addiction, comfort, love--and how her presence simultaneously explored and dispelled the myth that addiction/escape=artistic virtue. I loved the vivid visual universe too--there is much here for a design team, director, and choreographer! ”
