“a daringly experimental music-theater piece that offers many ways of exploring its subject”

“The video design by Monica Duncan adds a sense of grandeur.”

“Davis, who is onstage for most of the piece, contributes crucially, with a wide variety of gorgeous music — using string, keyboard and percussion instruments — and sound effects, creating a sonic undercurrent.”

“…its ending, with poetry and dancing celebrating Magdalene as a Goddess, had an urgency and a looseness that suggested that what is won by all this questioning is a form of freedom. It was a truly grand finale”

– Jay Lustig, NJarts.net

“a provocative, immersive theatrical experience”

– MorristownGreen.com

“The work… is the result of deep research and cultural archeology… Reflecting upon and interpreting the myriad, oftentimes conflicting, depictions of [Mary Magdalene’s] life takes us on a journey of self discovery, through histories of art, music, theatre, culture, and religion.”
