The way this review captures that "aesthetic hangover" is spot-on. I've experienced that exact feeling after a really powerful live performance where it stays with you for days. The curation of voices like Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, and Navalny alongside contemporary poets creates this unexpected through-line about different forms of bravery that sounds genuinely moving. That bit about the impossibility of fully conveying transformative theater to people who havent seen it is so true.
