“The drop cloth to SISSY welcomes the audience to “the other side” (of reality? The kingdom of the dead, as in the ancient Greek myth of Sisyphus?) via the image of a sign for an Elk’s lodge – complemented by two actual elk heads mounted on opposing walls.”
— "'SISSY' at BAC: Cue Imagination" by Mindy Aloff, CriticalDance.
“Yellow caution tape dangles from the doorway to the Jerome Robbins Theater and ropes off every row of seats. Not only have we entered the Baryshnikov Arts Center space, we’ve also crossed a portal directly into the world of “Sissy,” Celia Rowlson-Hall’s new dance-theater production, where a troupe of interpretive dancers is in residence at an Elks Lodge, unaware that the building is slated for demolition.”
