“Aided by Rothenberg’s burrowing music direction and McGill’s smooth choreography, Ramos develops a visual style that prioritizes feeling over fact […] he demonstrates a sensuous hand …
… [Ramos] allows [the] music to take center stage while providing a conceptual backbone that sensibly connects […] and quietly reclaims the work for its all-Asian cast …
… That ingeniousness is also present in the vignettes that begin each act [...] Ramos stages these sequences with particular beauty.”
