Recenzii

[A] flat-out extraordinary play... nothing here is remotely predictable... Barron channels the rollercoaster emotions of adolescence: her girls are electric with potential, heavy with self-doubt... I loved it.
Barron paints a wholly plausible picture of teenage insecurity and ambition... a play that wittily shows how dance can be a source of liberation without ever quelling the tremulous terrors of adolescence.
Though occasionally we witness the joy of adolescence, mostly this is a vision of its messy strangeness. Barron makes it clear that her characters are fierce and feral. They're played by adults, with the result that we sense the repercussions of their teenage turmoil - a time of fear and sharp-fanged rivalry... a perceptive account of the pain and wonder of growing up, witty about the ways in which the young are programmed to behave, and memorably alert to the particular power of female adolescence.
Barron has a brilliant ear for the almost monotonous self-deprecation of young girl speak... in Barron's signature achievement, 'Dance Nation' segues into scenes that border on magical realism. At the gentler end, one girl, Maeve (Nancy Crane) offers a dreamy account of her belief that she has the ability to fly. Elsewhere, though, 'Dance Nation' seethes with maenad frenzy.
