I ❤️ Mayo

This show is nothing you’d expect but everything you’d aspire to experience in a Fringe show. Never before have I harmonized, laughed until my face hurt, and gotten chills in the same hour. These actors are beyond impressive, not just in their physical comedy and vocal abilities but in their chemistry and presence. The use of props and lighting was intentional and perfect, somehow repurposed but never exhausted. Audience participation made the show all the more real, and as the story progressed, all the more jarring. These artists managed to present colonization, imperialism, and cultural homogenization in a way that is unique but entirely understood. These actors are genuinely hilarious and immeasurably skilled, but also incredibly witty in how this history is told and formulated. Colonial Circus has made a lasting impression on not only the audience, but the Edmonton Fringe Festival. I’m so grateful to have sat in front of this stage, thank you for sharing your art.
