Retrospective in Theatrics

Emergence, Scratch Night at The Studio

Nothing like a Choose Your Own Adventure tale for live interactive theatre. Emergence throws the audience into what starts off as a kooky art installation to only then become and drive the entire performance. Within limits.

Simultaneously fun and disturbing, Tuesday night crafted the being-in-waiting, Ram, into a smooth talking and distant monster. Nick Curnow, Ram, is everything all creepy inside his pasty face and exoskeleton.

Fantastic deception in the pre-recorded and live segments; unnerving to an extent. Industrial noise makes for a full effect with the people standing in what is pretty much an incubation chamber.

Thoroughly interesting, quizzically entertaining.
