The evening is a hybrid of theatre, dance, puppetry, visual art, contortionism, and evolution.  At some point during the show, you are likely to lift up your feet, hide your purse, and secure any other loose possessions - like a roller coaster, only you're at the theatre.  Keep all legs and arms inside the play.
 -Hannah Kenah, The Austin Chronicle

It cleverly channels, combines and presents something of a history of symbolic, absurdist and physical modes of theater - mime, Cirque du Soleil, the preternatural dance moves of Pilobolus, Beckett, even a little commedia dell 'arte (albeit wordless) - into one engaging and odd little package, full of weird and entertaining images. 
 -Jeanne Claire van Ryzin, Austin American-Statesman
