Was very very good. If you haven't seen it yet, I would recommend it thoroughly - unless you are not into rhythm or noise. And just the energy levels of the performers, of which there are only eight, and all of them would be out on the stage for about three quarters of the performance, making rhythmic noise - I wouldn't go so far as to call it music - from brooms, newspapers, plastic and metal bins, hands, feet, basketballs. Was well worth going out to - just wish someone had told me there wouldn't be an intermission, so I wouldn't be waiting around for one.
Yes, it is much more expensive than going to a similar sort of theatre to just see a movie, but I was thinking about it last night, listening to the crowd interact with the performers - laughing, clapping, and such, and was thinking what other animal makes things up for other animals to appreciate? I have heard that chimpanzees can lie or deceive, but out in the wild I don't think they have any monkey actors - or maybe I am wrong.
Very much part of the human condition the creative arts, acting and such - was just thinking how today's theatre goers may not be very different from the ones that went to the ampitheatres of Ancient Greece and Rome. Humans need to be entertained, in a group environment, every so often - and not just in tribalistic sports either, thinking of English fans at the World Cup. Or not that much different from the 16th century, when Shakespeare was giving world premieres of his plays...
In summary, I liked it - it was good LOL.
