“In this open air, intimate theatrical experience, you and seven other masked audience members will be guided through the dreams of iconic artist Toulouse-Lautrec as he recalls his final absinthe-laced years living and working in Montmartre.

The sidewalks, doorways and windows of Greenwich Village become the setting as live accompaniment collides with the city’s soundscape, transporting you into the bohemian world of 1899 Paris.”

“Following a violinist (Maryia Vasileuskaya) and a guide with a windup music box (Katherine Winter) — both wearing Christopher Metzger’s delectable throwback costumes,” -Maya Phillips, The New York Times

“There is very little dialogue, yet through Christopher Metzger’s magnificent costuming and the careful direction of Mara Lieberman, who also conceived of the show, the sad life and exceptional talent of Lautrec are vividly conveyed.” -Nicole Colbert, Off-Off Online

“The large cast is whimsically costumed, and the indoor space features true scenic design and professional technical production.” -Andrew Andrews, Opplaud New York

“Toulouse-Lautrec’s absentee father appears even more estranged, the beloved mother becomes even more unreachable (her six-foot skirt designed by Christopher Metzger certainly contributes to that effect, too).” -Asya Gorovits, No Proscenium
