“This show is the embodied definition of storytelling. Expertly using costumes, props, sound, music, movement, dance, facial expressions, and perhaps about 100 words, even the least enlightened audience could understand the show’s message without confusion.

[This] is a show of internal conflict, of rejecting what we are told we should be in favour of what we are, and of the literal shedding of the skins we put on to please others and exist in the one that pleases ourselves the most.”
