FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Life of Pi
THEATER REVIEW: ‘Life of Pi’ plays at Proctors Theatre through Feb. 23
9 / 10
The company of more than 20 players are choreographed throughout the play so that we always feel that sense of being lost at sea as inescapable. Whether in the hospital, lost at sea, or island bound, Pi is in constant motion, unceasingly active for over two hours. The actor’s melodrama leaves him no options. Combined with the superb puppetry of the tiger, the show is mesmerizing, and this is abetted by the set and lighting. It is impossible to ignore the complex relationships in the story and on the stage that make this show unique. It is almost like being absorbed in a difficult dream, one you remember, don’t understand, and can’t easily shake.
‘Life of Pi’ blends visual magic and menace
9 / 10
In fact, the entire show has a fairy-tale quality, initially joyous and then steadily more Grimm. Like the insurance investigator, we stop asking whether Pi’s narrative is true and ask the more important question: Why is he telling it to us? The answer brings a gut punch that reminded me of William Blake’s poem “The Tyger,” a companion piece to Blake’s “The Lamb.” Blake, horrified by the “fire of thine eyes,” asks the tiger, “Did he who made the Lamb make thee?” This play answers frankly: God put all kinds of natures on Earth, sometimes in the same body. When a matter of life and death comes up, the survivors will acknowledge that truth and act accordingly.
