Our first review for my new show TERMEN VOX MACHINA playing at Oracle theatre just came in. It's from the Chicago Reader, and it reads:
"Two years ago, with L.A.'s Filament Theatre Ensemble Max Traux directed this swirling, hallucinogenic text as an audio play. Now, as a member of Oracle Productions, he's taken M Deegans beguilingly non-literal piece-in which the life of Leon Thermin (Lev Termen: musician, physicist, inventor, KGB informant) is rewritten as a pulp spy novel, shredded and reassembled in random order. Traux has live actors lip synching nearly every word in this neo-Expressionist pantomime. Traux has an extraordinary gift for creating mysterious, multivalent stage images: a man with a glowing mouth (Casey Chapman), a seemingly infinate void into which actors literally dissapear. In many instances in which he allows dissonance to creep in between sound and sight, the results are powerfully evocative."
YAY!
look for another review tomorrow in Time Out Chicago!
