Cyclopedia
a strange and dusty world in a phantasmagorical place; where all the thoughts, stories, poems, equations, experiments, doctrines, and beliefs of humanity have found their way
“The performers magically morph in and out of an array of characters with wildly changing relationships… they were so skilled, so good, that I couldn’t stop watching.
This is theater at its best, as it plants images in your consciousness that you will return to repeatedly in the days that follow.”
—Robert Trussell, The Kansas City Star
