The experience itself is worth it. The idea of watching theatre in this way is very refreshing and interesting. The emotional draw of the story is a bit thin, but still very worth it. I wish the story were as risk-taking as the method of telling it. I strongly recommend this.
Beg to disagree. Flight was less than slight. To use an Afghan expression (which was not used in the production) it has the fineness of feeling of a cow.
Your "opinion" seems to be the minority. It astounds me how some NYT readers who come on here to express an "opinion" about the arts seem to lack any idea about what they are seeing and what is being offered. The arts are never meant to be perfect - they can't be. They are much more relevant when they are "allowed to fail" and push boundaries. Have you ever seen anything like this before? Do you have a reference point for what the experience is beyond your opinion? If so - express it. Otherwise, to use an American expression, "Opinions are like .... everyone has one."

One of the most amazing pieces of art I've ever encountered. A miniature world, but a huge story -- which not only defines our age but how we will be judged.

Go see this unique experience especially if you've ever admired the dioramas at a museum of natural history. But here done in miniature with a story that brings them to life. The powerful and very poignant story is illustrated beautifully with what seems like 100s of these peepholes illustrating the narrative. Compelling and timely, the scenes may be in miniature but the experience is a tour de force.

Flight was excellent. So powerful. So surprising. I highly recommend it.
