"...a trippy Gesamtkunstwerk production incorporating everything from life-sized puppetry, film, and performance art to blacklight theatre, electronic music, dance, and lowkey pyrotechnics. Seriously: the scene’s fit for a bath salts hallucination as Katherine Kline, Jessica Mensch, and Emily Pelstring do their thing. The trio enters the performance space one big amorphous alien, only to shed their skin and reveal themselves wearing upside down masks." --Tom Beedham, Ontheaside.com
The Powers 25-minute multimedia set is highly adaptable and has been performed in various spaces ranging from living rooms to galleries to bars to concert venues.
