Surreal Quest By Syenne Ko

Anger, sadness, and joy - The Routine performed by Joylyn Secunda encapsulated all these emotions and more, as a mime seeking the meaning of life. This surreal quest was brought to life by their fluidity and precise movements. Their animated expressions also took the audience along on the emotional adventure. A standout aspect was the mime being themselves and an animal at the same time, as those scenes were filled with palpable tension. It was also a delight to watch the mime match the rhythm of varying music with such grace. That being said, this performance would not be complete without Sebastian, the technician who brought another layer of authenticity. The Routine is perfect for anyone seeking an evocative and abstract journey.
