What did our critic think of HIR at The Wilbury Theatre Group? Before trans entered our vernacular as a standalone word, we used it mostly as a prefix to indicate something was being changed into another version of itself be it energy into other energy (transduction), language into other language (translation), or shape into other shape (transformation). Regardless of the type of boundary it invites us to cross, trans- always invites us to trace the edge of what is, and then venture beyond that edge to create something new.
