Yeah it might be gimmicky in the US, but damn shouldnt american audience get a taste of it. There is such a lack of exposure to different theatre experiences, it think black light should be over there too. Maybe not Aspects of alice particularly, but black light should.

I also wondered about the connection with Alice in Wonderland. I recently had to watch the movie for a class and after watching Aspects of Alice, I am not convinced there is any connection other than the name Alice and the drug “use”. I am curious about the US acceptance, too. I think it is time to push the US. Why should we have to suffer bc our country has just artist control over us? Doesn’t that contradict “artist freedom”?

I think the technique as a stand-alone piece would come across as gimmicky in the US. I thin that is why it has been relegated to tourist status here. See my post for further comments.
