BWW Review: WEIGHTLESS at Strand Theater

Ovid's Metamorphoses has inspired countless adaptations in the two millennia since it was first published - Mary Zimmerman beautifully staged a revival of her version at Berkeley Repertory Theatre earlier this year. In Weightless, husband and wife composers The Kilbanes (Kate Kilbane and Dan Moses) hone in on one of the lesser known fables of Procne and Philomela to create a rich, carefully-crafted rock opera. Rather than juggle competing narratives like other adaptations, this piece provides focus and clarity that enables real empathy for the sisters at its center.

A youthful, emerging talent whose incisive and uniquely devastating songs speak out from an almost ancient wisdom, San Francisco-based songwriter Lila Blue is an artist who pulls no punches and conquers any stage. Starting the new year off with a string of theatre performances in New York City for Under the Radar Festival, where her leading role performance in the rock opera 'Weightless' at BRIC drew praise in a review from the New York Times. An earlier review by the SF Chronicle was similarly inspired by her captivating voice, noting that 'Blue's lovely timbre has a delicate surface warble whose every note whispers of fathomless depths below.' As part of the festival, Lila also performed at The Public Theater in a reunion of The Chekhov Project, featuring several of her original compositions.
