Creativity starves insanityNothing like another dance theatre troupe to blow the mind. Again, with all the moves and body weaves, information and interpretation is highly subjective. Perception is an art form and an art form of perception creates a tapestry of a world borne unto imagination.
Blinding lights in the second act and freakishly ghoulish giant baby dolls in the third make for trying times of deciphering.
Stephen Petronio's Broken Man renders this wild and chaotic introduction that holds well onto its brevity. Willem Dafoe delivers a wonderfully full bodied rendition of Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven to bring in the last section, The Island of Misfit Toys, that it all pretty much sets the scene of the ensuing madness and fear. Not exactly sure what to make of City of Twist, people moving in and out of spaces, relationships and the environment of their cold and harsh city.
The Gotham Suite proves to be a theatre show of becoming emotions toward the city, the people and the crazy haze of a post 9/11 world.
Whether any of this is intentional or if it is merely a rambling jigsaw puzzle collecting pieces of uncertainty is unclear and remains forever to be seen.
Nothing like a riding down Hickson Road late at night to discover that Sussex Street connects directly around the bend.
