“Mr. Keigwin made dynamite choices in ‘Megalopolis’… a divinely well-structured encounter between formalism and club culture… It reveals his deeply American affinity for space and exuberant athleticism… They looked like they could have danced all night; I certainly could have watched them.”

- Claudia La Rocco, The New York Times (2009)
