This show is easily my favorite in the festival that I've seen thus far. Kirsten is an incredible mime and she makes some excellent commentary on today's techno-culture without saying a word. She took the art of mime to several new levels that I never would have imagined. She's not local, New Yorkers, so see this show while you still can!

Interview with Kirsten Stephens
Mime is an art form I love, though it is not well known. When it is done well, it is magical.
