TEA ALAGIĆ STUDIO
REVIEWS / PRESS
There’s a taut tension between these handsome, athletic actors. With the help of the director, Tea Alagić , they create a vivid, very recognizable world, using almost no set and simple, almost ritualized movements.
– New York Times
Alagić’s movement-based direction finds graceful correlatives for the insistent tribal rhythms of McCraney’s text, with Burke Brown’s sharp lighting and Pratt’s driving percussion adding further urgency to the spare but dynamic staging.
– Variety
Electrifyingly staged by Tea Alagić and played to the charismatic hilt by a trio of young actors…the production gives McCraney’s script the fevered energy of something ardent and young and fresh.
– The Washington Post
But it was through seeing parts of the trilogy at the Fountain Theatre and San Diego’s Old Globe (which presented “The Brothers Size,” expertly directed by Tea Alagić ), that I became better acquainted with this path-breaking talent.
– LA Times
It is accentuated by Tea Alagić’s brilliantly simple and considered production, one in which three bare-chested actors arrive to the stage, limbering up over the accompaniment of a busy percussionist, before creating a playing space with a circle of sand.
– The Irish Times
Director Tea Alagić has staged the play several times now, and her familiarity with the material is surely a huge part of how easily all these big ideas come across.
– Arts Louisville
Here, McCraney’s characters are exciting because they are, at root, clashing manifestations of a unifying impulse, and under Tea Alagić’s direction those tensions ignite in powerful performances that define the designated archetypes.
