“Never has the authentic woman felt so superior than in Elefantin’s ironic celebration of Barbie’s sixtieth birthday. What better way to subvert her reining body image than have Alessia Ruffolo and Cree Barnett Williams totter about precariously on invisible heels and attempt to put on sunglasses without opposable thumbs? Side-splitting exclamations of ‘I love being a fashion model’ and images of constructed femininity are smashed by contorting red lips and hands on inner thighs in what seems like a ghastly attack of cystitis. All is not perfect in plastic Barbie world! But in their striped corsets and peroxide blonde wigs they attract human sympathy for their aging predicament and the individual who seems just as floundering as the rest of us. Barnett Williams nails the dance-theatre-satire genre; I eagerly anticipate her next venture.”
