“Julietta, a stuporous, surreal marathon by Bohuslav Martinu, rolled a searing satire of fascism into an operatic facsimile of our own subconscious, at once smart and urgently relevant. “
- Evan Berkowitz
“John Horzen’s projection and video design was both striking and clever, providing the necessary visual component in crafting this surreal world. A particularly nice touch: the setting for the town first appears as a line drawing, only to be slowly filled in as we meet more and more of the strange townsfolk. “
- Gabrielle Ferrari
