“Kudos to scenic designer Chika Shimizu for crafting a setting that feels more like the artistic deconstruction of a home, with different levels presenting vignettes of the amenities you would expect, but nothing fully connected — much in the way our brains adapt to new spaces piece by piece — and much in the way that our memories of home may outsize certain spaces where we congregated more.” (ART ATL)
