What they said
"Certain Things, Which I Will Call Sacred: New York-based theatre company Blessed Unrest brings its original meditation on love and memory to the fest.... Jessica Burr and Matt Opatrny rehearse and remember the various stages of a lifelong love affair that, in its golden years, risks disappearing along with the memory of those who lived it. Repetition allows the richness of a simple idea to bloom: even the set consists of a single prop, a flower pot, multiplied 82 times, forming a garden where the flowers are buried, waiting to be unearthed.... Burr and Opatrny create a touching dynamic that's pleasing to watch."

"Certain Things, Which I Will Call Sacred stands entirely on its own as a work of art… Indeed, the best part of Certain Things is the way Burr and Opatrny transform seamlessly from character to character."
