Hysterical Alphabet - Erin Gillman

I had no expectations of The Hysterical Alphabet prior to Wednesday night. I wasn't sure whether the show would be a film, a lecture, performance art or a reading. In some sense it was all of those combined.

I appreciate the vast range of mixed media and the obvious time and effort put into the project. The speakers were able to create a montage between spoken, seen and heard. The images were lovely and managed to convey the humor of the Hysterical Alphabet, but the overarching idea of the piece was over my head. Perhaps if I had researched a little before I would have better enjoyed the performance.

I also got sick around the letter "q" and had to leave. You win some, you lose some.
