Press & Recognition

“connects observers and the observed by keeping them a considerable distance apart, with audience members posted on a rooftop in the Navy Yard peeping the show through binoculars. It’s up to performers stationed a block away on balconies, or up to half a mile away on the other side of the Anacostia River, to captivate from afar” — Metro Weekly

“Perched along the roof of the eNvy Condominiums and The Kelvin at 70 N St. SE and 1250 Half Street SE, showgoers are in the hands of a “tour guide.” Her soothing, cheerful voice and calculated hand signals are reminiscent of the safety demonstrations given by flight attendants…Just as the audience gets the hang of pinpointing each artist across the city and settles into the rhythm of the performances, the tour guide grows increasingly unsettled. She starts to explain the sights around all of us, but realizes so much of what she used to know no longer exists. The neighborhood is different; what once was there is no more.” — Washington City Paper
