“Michael Z. Keamy is apparently a massage therapist with brains enough to turn his profession into art by adding mime, music and monologue. Keamy opens with "The Re-evolution of man" --- a mime piece which in a few minutes runs all the changes from Genesis' first 6 days of creation to the arrival on the scene of the modern gay male. A section called "Namaste" presents Keamy as the roshi conducting a yoga class. There is apiece satirizing the workout-artists who try to spend a few hours a day on exercise machines, but have a cell phone pasted to their ear. And there's a good long mime section demonstrating the love the massager has, not for any individual, but for the body itself. Under Kurt Miller's direction, the piece contains just enough self-deprecating humour to keep the show bubbling. The best thing about the show is Keamy's empathic ability to speak from inside characters created in seconds.” Excerpted from |
