No. 7 |
“…Senseless cruelty is a universal tenet of so-called civilization. Jackie Hayes’ performance piece “Number Seven”…confronts this detestable practice with ingenious artistry. The work offers personal information and intimate circumstance in a somber, disquieting aesthetic to make a telling statement. In its closing moments, this creation deftly achieves the unthinkable. We still face a scene of ruthless devastation. However, Jackie Hayes’ voice narratives a poetic portrait of such hope as only the most courageous soul is capable: she ends on a heartening note this work world that was borne of unimaginable anguish.” Number Seven is not to be missed, a sterling achievement of rare originality and soul-stirring power.

“Not the weirdest, but No. 7 is nonetheless an immensely unusual work of theater. Hayes’ background involves creating new works that “blur the lines between performance and installation…” Genocide is not an easy subject for performance – and Hayes is sensible for not attempting to address such themes on a literal basis. As a result, No. 7 has an eerie, ritualistic quality about it, as though the world itself were ruined by such atrocities, the survivors left with nothing but the solemn tasks of picking through the rubble and trying to build something new.”

“[Hayes] seeks “How to live my life with this information, because it could very easily evolve into a kind of racism. Wise words of a noble spirit, indeed! Hayes’ Number Seven serves as a healing agent…This may finally and symbolically start to address the inherited emotional turbulence sprung from the ravages of a shamefully underreported genocide.”

“Foy, Wilkens, and Albertson are intensely expressive under Jackie Hayes’ expert direction – the energy and wry nuance of their performances really communicate the pathos of the characters’ emaciated lives.”
