Fringe show: Choreography which leads to satisfaction

[redbird]

Or, Chorégraphie qui mène à la satisfaction: the show was bilingual, though without a lot of dialogue in either language. (I suspect I would have gotten more out of it if I understood more French; I also suspect there are bits a monolingual Francophone would have missed.)

Performer and choreographer Nika Stein is good, and definitely expressed emotion and change within that. As promised on the Fringe website, there is a happy ending: the promotional bookmark in fact says "Warning 18+ Explicit emotional content, nudity, and happy ending."

Recommended, for my hypothetical reader who is in Montreal in the next week and likes dance. (Studio Jean-Valcourt du Conservatoire, 4750 av. Henri-Julien metro Laurier or Mont-Royal)

Meanwhile, I am feeling warm and cozy because I saw this with rysmiel yesterday and we have more Fringe tickets for tomorrow, and adrian_turtle and cattitude are going to a free outdoor performance of Macbeth this afternoon.

Now wishing for a teleport to take me to Montreal. Oh well, lots of exciting events coming up here too.

Some of the Fringe shows turn up in other cities; the Macbeth in question is in the Boston area (which is where Cattitude, Adrian, and I live).

I'm so glad you're having a good time.

Cattitude and I didn't end up seeing Macbeth this afternoon. We tried to arrange a picnic, and he asked "When shall we two meet again..." because you're in Montreal.

That was, of course, asking for trouble. Meeting in thunder, lightning and in rain (or even just rain) makes for a lousy picnic, even if it might set a suitable mood for this performance.

ETA: We are trying again for the Sunday evening performance, also at Longfellow Park.
