The fourth All Sorts programme at Dance Base in some ways exemplifies all the tendencies noticed in programmes 1 and 3 (unfortunately I couldn't fit in Show 2 - all my fault and I'm regretting it), mainly the merging of genres. Here we have dance, text-based theatre, physical theatre, and live music with interaction between the performers and musicians. There is comedy and deep sadness, moments of high excitement, sexual tension and despair. And underlying it all is comment on the human condition, its lifestyle choices and the search for love and comfort. What more can one ask of a piece of theatre?
It is performed with huge energy by four dancers and three musicians and leaves the audience overwhelmed. Superb!
