PRESS

“They do make a glamorous entrance, rising out of the floor in a cage that glows with bright white light. Clad in chic black from their shades to their high-heeled shoes, they step out into a Cliffside hotel, looking sleek and younger than they are – by a few millenniums, give or take.” - NY Times

 

 


“…the show is filled with striking imagery: naked men, bare-breasted women, red roses as a tool of sexual pleasure that turns to pain.” - NY Times

 



“Hillary Spector, as the no-nonsense Diana, and Hwalan Shub, as the vulnerable Echo, are the most distinctive of the naiads, while Mr. Quinn lends Hylas a tenderness that is no match for these water creatures’ anger.” - NY Times

 



“John Jahnke and his company go Greek at BAM’s Next Wave Festival with the premiere of a work based on the myth of Hylas, a pretty-boy prince who went AWOL from the Argo, allegedly through an abduction by nymphs.” - Time Out, New York
