“A lythe and subtle actor” New York Times by Jennifer Dunning
“Video images and simulcasts, as deft as the hands of a three-card monte artist” New York Times by Ben Brantley
“What makes this powerful theater is not artistic theory but the galvanizing and immersive experience of each of the plays. Directors Billy Clark, Jason Trucco, and Park Il Kyu brilliantly orchestrate each of the pieces using video, traditional staging, and a changing environment to enroll the audience in each piece.” Gay City News
“It’s an ambitious, multi-channel, international production that integrates 360° video, motion capture, and multi-location performance.” Culturebot by maura nguyễn donohue
“HI-FI |WI-FI | SCI-FI is an enjoyable exploration that effectively combines the work of an adventurous and imaginative playwright at several stages of his life into one unified adventure.” Broadway World by Michael Dale
“Employing multiple cameras, the production featured live and recorded images projected onto several giant screens surrounding a milling audience, while actors in Seoul and New York performed together with a built-in five-second delay. In this way, the medium for storytelling became part of the narrative in a larger meditation on communication, technology, synchronicity, language, and the future.” American Theatre by Thomas Keith
“—streaming from 10 different cameras and locations. In-person, viewers experienced the energetic fire of live production, watching Billy Clark pass the performers with a multi-antennaed gimbal like a swooping bird of prey.” Culturebot by Darvejon A. Jones
