Recommendations of Hum

  • Nick Malakhow: Hum

    What an incredibly rich and vividly rendered theatrical world! I imagine it would be an absolute treat for directors, actors, designers, and movement coordinators alike to create the onstage visual and aural landscape Wardigo depicts here. The story which has shades of both parable and dystopia is exceedingly inventive and thought-provoking. The storytelling manages to be simple and direct while speaking volumes (all sorts of puns intended) about communication, connection, and detachment in our modern world.

    An incredible exploration of communication and intimacy that I'm absolutely in love with! I'm actually giddy! An intoxicating and mysterious thriller that examines conspiracy and our ability to exist in an alternate state. What could we lose and what could we gain? Fantastic!

    I love this play! As a metaphor for the unconscious ways that we live and how hard it is to awake from them, yes! This play challenges its audience to think outside the dinosaur - it fights fascism and has moments of such perfect beauty I am jealous of it! Are you a Listener? When your deity is killed, do you replace it with your desperation to have a deity?

    I saw Hum in a vividly staged reading at PlayPenn a few years back. Its concept is fascinating and weird and entrancing, three things I look for in good plays. I love plays that encourage me to "see" and hear in different ways, and Nick's piece is a real paradigm-shifter. As someone always looking to find words to express myself, I was awed by Nick's ability to rethink how a story is told.
