Press
“An ingenious merger of live music and captivating visuals. No matter where you look, you’ll find beauty and intrigue.”
— Chicago Sun-Times
“Endlessly imaginative and exquisitely beautiful”
— The New York Times
“…impossible to look away”
— The Daily Beast
“…an exquisitely stylized, self-contained reality that seems to belong both to the early 19th century, when Shelley’s novel was written, and to the dark corridors of its author’s imagination.”
— The New York Times
“a complex visual treat…impressive in scope and execution, entertaining, and (especially if you’ve never seen Manual Cinema before) absolutely fascinating to watch.”
— Chicago On Stage
