BOSTON OPERA UNDERGROUND
2/13/08 at the Lizard Lounge, Boston

[The evening] culminated in Daron Hagen's Broken Pieces, in which Pamela (Angela Gooch) sang that "The omelet is a metaphor!" — pointing out her own inadequate attempt to communicate emotional needs (via her breakfast takeout order). This last work was the only one in which the lack of set felt at all like a lack. The program gives some detail that's missing from action on the non-stage: Angela later discovers that Antonio the tile guy (Christian Figueroa) has constructed a mosaic of her face in her bathroom." — C. Fernsebner, Bostonist.com, 2/18/08

"Our favorite is Daron Hagen's "Broken Pieces" about a tile man who makes a mosaic of a woman's face in her bathroom." — June Wulff, The Boston Globe, 2/13/08
