"A brilliant soundscape and eye-catching spectacle, splendidly crafted by Kievman, director Jeffrey Marc Buchman and a first-rate production team"
"Buchman’s fast-paced production offers a nonstop visual panorama. The image of a dead woman (the victim of the dictator’s corrupt brutality) being carried out on an improvised board through the audience at the conclusion of the first part was powerful and moving. From the flamboyant dance of the medicine man to agitated steps of warriors, Rosa Mercedes’ choreography was consistently imaginative."
