Interesting performance. Some insightful stories,

Awesome performance, a great experience of visual art
Well delivered but not easy to access and link the themes, some of which were elegantly presented. The symbolism of the costumes remained a mystery, perhaps a reference to a previous golden era. The Audience was very appreciative of the performance.
Powerful and thought provoking. Would love to see it reach a wider audience.
