No one can really convey all that they are-especially in such a short time-but THIS was a fascinating distillation of one woman’s essence and place in the world. However, the way she employed it seemed to bring her closer to us, to force us to listen. While Im slowly getting used to more trail feel, my history of knee surgeries has left me in want of a good deal of cushioning for road. Always in on the joke, Truscott knows that nudity can be too easy, too distracting. Yes, watching Truscott pull endless flags out of her vagina, like a clown would, was bonkers. Nudity did play a part in THIS, but it wasn’t just for shock value. As a result, THIS felt like a culmination of a career spent experimenting with various talents and then putting them to best use. Someone had to make the cardboard piano, the dress made of feathered material, the robot hummingbird. Despite moments of spontaneity, THIS is obviously a product of extensive planning. That isn’t to say that Truscott's performance lacked deliberation.
