“The overwhelming impenetrability of it all was conveyed without a wasted impulse… Lopresti’s face became a map of memories”
-Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times
“Mr. Lopresti came closest to communicating the mime’s silent messages. He had a fine moment when, his back to the audience, he considered a painting at a museum.

And Mr. Lopresti’s face became a map of memories with one unhurried gaze in ‘Man at the Grave.’”
