The Round Of Pleasure

“The Round of Pleasure” is a Viennese treat, a rich dessert from Mittel Europa that breaks all the artificially imposed rules of political correctness…. 'Round' has no social conscience, while also having as complete a picture of society's moral hypocrisies and ethical duplicities as one can get in an hour and a half.”

“Director Ildiko Nemeth puts her beautiful ensemble through gigantean hoops of pleasure and pain, desire and repulsion, frustration and consummation…. She knows how to bring an audience to a fevered pitch, then burst their expectations with a falsetto cry of delight.”

“In an astounding overture, between scenes, and in an amazing closing, choreographer Julie Atlas Muz's 'Ironic Interludes' add to the chaos of human bodily relations. Strauss waltzes set the place as Vienna, while original music by Paul Radelat add dynamic motion and frenetic pace. The dances are exquisite examples of how to integrate acting and movement while maintaining a story line's integrity.”

“Despite its rather crass theme and crude language, a sense of beauty emanates from the production….The various visual and aural elements of The Round of Pleasure assure an enjoyable show for anyone seeking an evening of sensory stimulation.”

“Ildiko Nemeth's direction and Julie Atlas Muz's choreography ensure that meaning is conveyed at all times.”

“ ‘La Ronde’ enjoyed Broadway success a few years ago, and now New York’s daring downtown experimental group, The New Stage Theatre Company, takes up the challenge. “This off-Broadway company, which pulled off a coup last year with ‘Some Historic/Some Hysteric,’ plunges into the piece….Ildiko Nemeth is a highly creative director, who puts her own stamp on the piece.”

“Trough the vision of Nemeth the skills of her cast cannot be denied.”

“elegantly-devised production”
“The basic outline of Schnitzler's drama remains, but what makes this production so fascinating is the handsome Visualization of the text, with direction by Ildiko Nemeth, choreography by Julie Atlas Muz, and stunning costumes, stage-environments, and lighting by Nemeth and Jessica Sofia Mitrani, Joel Grossman, Frederico Restrepo, and Marguerite Lochard.”

“Nemeth's New Stage Theatre Company has achieved a production of Beauty and Power. “

The equally handsome and talented cast includes Markus Hingel, Catherine Correa, Jeanne Lauren Smith, Sarah Lemp, and Kaylin Lee. Despite the limited performance-space at the Clemente Soto Velez Center, Nemeth's New Stage Company has achieved a production of Beauty and Power. “

Some Historic Some Hysteric

“Some Historic/ Some Hysteric is dazzling, brilliant, searing….. Magnificent work all around: set design, costumes, movement, music, performance, and direction.”

“Visually Striking”
