A Chihuahua Discusses Mitch Hara’s “Mutant Olive”
Herbert, the Chihuahua at the Lounge Theatre, was the model audience member. Throughout Mitch Hara’s performance, Herbert was attentive, his eyes and ears and facial expressions revealed curiosity and an investment in Hara’s flamboyant sashaying and cursing and confiding. At one moment in the sometimes interactive performance, Hara approached Herbert’s owner, and Herbert didn’t like that one bit. He growled so loudly that his owner placed her hands over Herbert’s mouth, but all that did was mute Herbert’s growl, until Hara stepped back and Herbert’s growling stopped. Some people would call this “feedback.” We prefer to call it Drama Criticism.
