New Ohio Theatre

"Afsoon Pajoufar's installation brings us into the palace to witness the intrigue firsthand. Many of her design choices are beautiful and evocative: a metal candelabra suspended before the decaying apse of a Byzantine church, tangles of brown packing tape with little written messages creating a web of rumors across the tomblike space, a bedside basin of blood in the porphyry chamber."

"The current pandemic has put live shows on hold in New York City for the past year, but in-person events are easing their way back. Case it point: Byzantine Choral Project's ICONS/IDOLS: IN THE PURPLE ROOM at the West Village's New Ohio Theatre. Part art installation (designed by Afsoon Pajoufar), part lyrical chant (lyrics by Helen Banner; music by GraceOberhofer), this immersive new work captures tragedy and strong will at its best."

"The real triumph of the show is Grace Oberhofer's glorious musical realization of Helen Banner's compelling lyrics... It's a glimpse of a unique creative collaboration that deserves notice - accessible, beautiful, historically informed, and convincingly executed by a troupe of highly talented singers and actors who make you feel their presence even through a recording."
