“The beauty here is in the coming together of elements, the creation of new artists, the intense visual magic and Jack Waters’ ultimate message: the celebration of life.”

“Generator: Part 1 fulfills its promise to be a truly inimitable theater experience. This is largely thanks to the aural stimulation courtesy of the queer-skinned “kitchen band” NYOBS, whose energy and renegade style of performance suit this piece very well. Their joy in performing is very palpable, even as their music mastery is competing for the audience’s attention with the eye-popping visual projections and the cast of performers, who really give their all on stage. Audiences will indeed look forward to the second installment in this trilogy…”

“A Jarring Genesis - With its heady mix of low and high tech, this is not a slick production, and that’s by design. Yes, there are video projections and lighting effects. But in the tradition of micro-budget, experimental downtown theater, the piece also incorporates simple materials in innovative ways.”

— David Kennerly, Gay City News (FULL REVIEW)

“If there is such a thing as “classical” experimental theatre, then Generator is the epitome of the category.”

— Andrew Andrews, Opplaud (FULL REVIEW)

“From Amoebas to Cave People at La MaMa - Generator is part art installation, part dance theater that evokes the evolution of life forms on earth...It ends several billion years later with cave people in adorable furry black and beige outfits scurrying about on stage as an upright shaman, colorfully attired in a spider-like costume, asks questions like Who are we?”

“…a blow by blow account of the primordial impulse that drives life, awareness and motivation...Beautiful design, movement, strong images, live vocal effects!...intricate soundscore…”
