"Rosy Simas wraps herself up in the stars and stripes--literally--in a work that challenges the complicated issues surrounding patriotism, power, and duty in an era marked by an unpopular war and a dishonest government. Accompanied by a cast of seven dancers ... Simas Guthrie combines elements of theater, improvisation, and modern dance to explore both the personal and societal implications of being soldier, citizen, and/or artist. It's a protest dance of sorts, but subtle enough to transcend the limitations of current events and political ideology." -- Caroline Palmer, City Pages
