Yes, the work contained a lot of fascinating elements and alluded to interesting events in her life but as a show it didn’t cohere unfortunately. I’m glad you were able to connect with it Samsara.
It’s a pity the show suffered technical difficulties as it made it hard to form a complete view of the work. That said, having read Rob’s review now, I mostly agree with him – as many of us said last night, the show felt shapeless. Each section felt like it had the same weight as every other and nothing seemed to build from moment to moment. I was planning to write a review, but having not seen the full show, I won’t.
I do agree that a bar atmosphere feels like it should be a better fit, more relaxing. Easier to move around and not feel like any particular person is dominating the conversation.
