The Half-God of Rainfall

I also was wondering if perhaps half of the dialogue in the show could be cut. The movement to the show was so interesting that I think it could carry much of the story by itself.  At times I thought the actors were saying too much and not showing enough.  I would move this show more to a movement/dance peace.  I think the piece would benefit from less language

I also thought that the language delivery itself was a bit too much on the same level. It had that Greek wailing and β€œtalking to God threatening and warning about things that are happening in the story.” But this got to be a little old after an hour of this. If you emphasize every word and every sentence all the time then suddenly you’re not emphasizing anything at all. I just wish they had saved the heightened language for the heightened moments.  Some subtlety and humor would have gone a long way with this production.

The showering water at the end of the piece was a spectacular theatrical end to the piece.  I wish that the rest of the show was so artfully realized.
