"It seams like a lecture,?but Peszek - using nothing but fire, water, flour, Ping-Pong balls, buckets, fishing line, a cello, and every inch of the stage - makes it looks easy. His virtuoso turn also happens to be mindless kinetic fun.
Like the self-conscious text, the physical commentary is alternately oblique, sardonic, thoughful, ridiculous - but it has an unbroken, almost musical rhythm, that's mesmering. Playwrigh and critic Boguslaw Schaeffer is best known as a composer, and in a sense the limber, rubber-faced Peszek is both conductor andorchestra for this piece - the"instrumental actor" of the title - dramatizing both the difficulty of making, meaningful art and the frustrating art of describing that difficulty."
