This production--and Gradinger's demanding, non-stop solo--hit me with the force of a thousand-thousand stars... The work is rich, visceral, unforgettable.
-Eva Yaa Asantewaa, Infinite Body

A brilliant mash-up send-up of Japanese manga and kawaii (cute) culture... The charismatic and perfectly silly Jared Gradinger tiptoes, flexes, pumps his fist, moves like a robot, and otherwise makes believe with his body, evoking the childish and innocent, heroic and fantastic, and sexual and violent worlds of these popular art forms.

The well conceived and produced video, lighting, and sound, lend a polish to this commission by the Japan Society. The result is a rich blend of Wade's scatalogical, sculptural modern dance with a barrage of pop culture.
