“Illness is the night side of life, a more onerous citizenship. Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick. Although we all prefer to use the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place.” - Susan Sontag.
The experience of Night Side Songs is prefaced with this stoic message. It defines the direction and purpose the play is trying to convey.
And, it does this extremely well. The pseudo-thrust stage, the metatheatrical elements, the raw, almost primal music.
The show makes you part of itself, and each show is unique in that way. It all comes together to form an absolutely unforgettable performance.
