"[This tape] gives a clear picture of the consistency of Jonas's concerns. The performance was based upon the merging of two fairy tales—The Frog Prince told backward, and The Boy Who Went Out To Learn Fear told forward. These two tales become intertwined into a single text whose transformations are effected through fragmentation, demonstrating a process “unhitched” from time, as free from the laws of physics as are the fairy-tale sources.
