"
I can say that Californiland is a poetic, profound, moving piece of Dance Theater. It is a must-see. Californiland’s themes of visibility and of escapism were undeniable. And from the first moments to the final visual, Pita challenged the viewer to confront their own complacency around homelessness and addiction. Choreographically, intense charge was coupled with heart wrenching gestural sequences, the cast covering their heads and reaching their hands out for something, anything. "
