"What kind of superhero story do we need in this heartsick summer of lost children and wildfires? An “infinity war” is hardly a comforting concept.
Instead, Samantha Johns and George McConnell have delivered the tender tableau of Superhero."
-Jay Gabler, CityPages
masked SUPERHEROES appear in this non-narrative, image & movement-based performance that explores
the notion of the extra in the ordinary.
think a greek chorus mixed with color guards, olympic opening ceremonies, the marvel and DC cinematic universes,
