“… a dreamlike fantasia on apocalyptic themes that merges dance, text and music.”
- Karen D'Souza, San Jose Mercury News ˆ
“Shuch and San José perform seamlessly alternating spoken and movement passages that add up to running ruminations on love, day-to-day relationships and death.”
- Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle
“This is the first time Sean San Jose and Erika Chong Shuch, of Campo Santo and the ESP Project respectively, are performing onstage together. Separately, they are vibrant movers and shakers in the Bay Area. When I heard they were combining their creative forces, I had to witness the alchemy. And the result is pure gold.”
- Andy Alabran , KQED Arts
“Questions of illness, loss and grieving -- all were served up with Shuch's characteristic wit, and always surprising choreography, with San Jose's fearsome gaze and focused delivery bringing an emotional gravitas.”
- Kimberly Chun, 7x7 Magazine
“Poetry and dance both traffic in emotional terms, but rarely are they so complete or exacting. In this play, though, big things get transmitted in small ways and every minute gesture becomes important.”
- Rachel Swan, East Bay Express
“There’s none of the pretension that can come from a hybrid dance-theater-music-spoken word piece because the performers are so incredibly focused, so funny and so intensely emotional. They seem to live partly in the world of boring, normal people and partly in the world of extraordinarily talented artists who sing and move and speak on an entirely different, entirely dazzling plane.”
- Chad Jones, Theater Dogs
“But the reason we go to see (Erika) is that she keeps coming with new dance theatrical forms. No piece looks like anything she has done before.”
- Rita Felciano, SF Bay Guardian
