• Psychological Art Circus: Human Document

    Self-reflexive and bizarre, seemingly unconcerned with the regular aesthetic effects of aerial work, episodic (though not act-based), austerely staged, Human Document's style and language is a long way from the twin streams of graduate work coming out of Circus Space and Circomedia right now. The show, meditating on life after death, is curious and inert, interesting perhaps more than it is engaging, and—it's hard to be sure—either over- or under-thought in its treatment and appropriation of sacred and secular rituals and icons surrounding death and the afterlife.
