* Sol niger is Latin for black sun and refers metaphorically to a solar eclipse.

"Sol niger is probably Hennessy's best work yet. Looking at the devastation humankind has brought on itself, the work celebrates and laments the glory and frailty of being alive."
Rita Felciano, SF Bay Guardian"


“A vibrant and theatrically daring new work…Circo Zero’s Sol niger is charming, funny, quirky, disturbing and frequently, to use an old-fashioned word, beautiful.”
Michael Wade Simpson, culturevulture.net
