Annika Lewis

“Til slut var det blevet Annika B. Lewis’ tur til at fange publikum, hvilket hun gjorde med excellence… Ud over at publikum var inddraget i act’en formåede Annika B. Lewis at fange publikums opmærksomhed med indlevende personlighed toppet med et stænk humor. Hele salen var fyldt med latter og en dirrende spænding over, hvad hun mon kunne finde på som det næste.”
– Terpsichore, om Let's Get Personal, 2010

"Annika B. Lewis bills her one-woman show, “Let’s Get Personal,” as “an absurd report from the happiest country in the world, with a personal commentary ranging somewhere between blind angles and clear views.” Although this country does not exist, Miss Lewis‘ description of it closely resembles the United States, where success comes from a carefully calculated fusion of self-help, self-promotion and self-deception. Miss Lewis stars as an insanely chipper productivity expert who, in between politically charged monologues, leads the audience in satirical breathing exercises designed to help them reach their truer, deeper selves (which are, in the end, as gullible as their falser, shallower selves). With its emphasis on programming people to be orderly and efficient in their personal and professional lives, and its reference to “Newspeak,” “Let’s Get Personal” is a darkly funny riff on George Orwell’s “1984.”
