“Movement Director Vanessa Severo created one of the most fascinating elements of this production. Her movement choices are integral in telling this story. I loved how the actors used their bodies to produce rhythms, by tapping arms, legs, and heart, or stomping their feet, creating the music we recognize from the Western soundtrack, the percussive beat of the horses’ hooves, the heartbeat of the people.”
