Just added a review of this show up on Kings River Life’s review post https://kingsriverlife.com/03/07/rogue-festival-reviews-2020/
A fantastic show, brimming with clever puppetry, comedy, melancholy and an endearing aesthetic that pulls you in and makes you want more. The fact that this is performed live is quite a feat.
Unquestionably, the detailed artistry and craftsmanship in this show is stupendous and like nothing I have ever seen before; however, Zach’s ability to communicate dynamic themes and stories shines through his masterpieces into a profound performance. Get ready for a rollercoaster of hilarity, authenticity, and emotion!!
Incredible. If you like dioramas, hand-held video camera projection, overhead projectors with beautiful, delicate stencils, stories about walking your dog and receiving unconditional love, attempts to connect with anyone, odd cardboard replicas of Dillard’s and Blockbuster stores, and just general funny sad thoughtful energy, then this is your show. I will someday prank call this guy.
This show was lots of fun! The work that Zach put into this show is astounding! The puppets and sets are so beautiful!
The sheer mass of amazing artistry makes this show a stand out. A blend of visual artistry, media prowess, and comedic performance. You should go!!
Loved this show! Zach takes you on a fun, fascinating, and frenetic journey through stories and interludes from his life. He brings you into his incredible hand drawn, 2D puppet worlds and features intricate shadow puppets in this wacky whirlwind show. I recommend it!
