Homage

"Like all good choreography, the piece succeeds on the basis of what cannot be said. Its sultry mood and the mounting emotional tension are somehow enveloped in a suggestively larger package of decadence and dystopia."

—National Post

"The New York-based troupe follows in the absurdist footsteps of Samuel Beckett and Kurt Weill by employing a menacing vaudevillian style (complete with a glittery gold curtain out of a game show) to remind us how human beings continue to repeat the same misguided errors in the arenas of war, justice and love. Yet the company's style is not antagonist. It's urgent in a rambunctious-sad way. And the performers are lovely and engaging even as frightening truths brew underneath."
