The scenic design for 'the dance floor, the hospital room, and the kitchen table' was featured in the 2023 Prague Quadrennial Emerging Designer Exhibit along with the design work of Joseph Amodei (media), André Segar (lighting), and Eben Hoffer (sound).
"Technically, the show is breathtaking. Scenic Design (Sasha Jin Schwartz) is simple but so effective: scores and scores of bland white archival boxes (these, with the ever-present cameras and recording instruments underscore our need to capture, to document, to make a messy living past into a safe, pinned one) that seem dusty and old (dead) at the beginning but keep frothing forth the “queer mundane:” magazines and boa feathers and quilts and streamers, as if they just will not be contained."- The Bad Oracle
"Joseph Amodei designed the media. Scenic design is by Sasha Jin Schwartz. Lighting design is by André Segar. Sound design is by eben joondeph hoffer. Composition is by kei slaughter. Live sound mixing is by Travis Joseph Wright. I listed all of the creatives on the program without singling anyone out because it was such a brilliantly coordinated effort that melded into a single technological on-point display."
