Reviews for Dragonfish
From audiences
★★★★★
“At once disarmingly funny and heartbreakingly real, Dragonfish confronts the absurdity of being known and the tragedy of knowing the ones you love. A hilarious tour de force and a masterclass in the human condition.
This is why humans make art.”

soleil continues to prove herself to be an extraordinarily talented performer and storyteller.
Dragonfish gives marina abramovic, bo burnham, robert wilson and andy kaufman all at once.
soleil weaves together clowning, character acting, movement and found footage in a way that’s immediately endearing and immersive.
the fourth wall is shown to be non-existent from the very beginning but somehow it seems to fall again and again with her radical authenticity and vulnerability.
this show is an intensely personal work that invites us all to process loss. it’s a cathartic emotional rollercoaster, and a truly unforgettable experience.

A tour de force exploring the relationship between father and child—a mix of comedy and poignant reflection on life and death, Soleil masterfully crafted and performed a beautiful work of art. The audience laughs, cries, and willingly leaps up to assist Soleil through a baring journey to the soul.

Dragonfish is a sweeping panorama of love, grief, and the complexity of our human relationships. Soleil will take you on an evocative and uncomfortable journey that pushes the boundaries of what immersive theater can do.
