Groundhog's Day brunch in Heck.
But it's okay, because brunch loves you.
Olé!
A revolt in the face of the absurd.
When I got the olé it was a chill up the back of my neck.
Defiant in the face of grief.
She turned the long train dress into her dance partner, into a prop. She turned the difficulty into the dance.
Angels in every kind gesture.
White people don't olé, we woo. Different experiences of the divine moment.
The bit is they randomly take a title of another show and make a musical out of that. But the audience member picked their show title. So we got a show of a pirate circus troop sailing the ship they won in a bet to find an audience, of us, the monkeys. And the whole thing was a love story complete with multiple marriages. This was both extremely dumb and extremely fun.
This was fantastic. The ability inclusive theater company recreating 1984, combining it with the biography of Eric Blair aka George Orwell (especially the Spanish civil war), and a meta-discussion about the importance of stories and whether or not to finish the story or to break it. Along with a beautiful rendition of Bella Ciao that made me cry. This was my favorite performance of the Fringe this year.
