Another one-person show. She had this hilarious, infectious presence. Basically, she performed a bunch of things revolving around the theme of horses, and had a GREAT time doing it. So, we had a great time, too. She sang, she acted like a horse dancing, she read a horse-riding manual like it was porn, she danced with a guy from the audience, she acted like a horse in a race, she acted like an acrobat on a horse, she used a saddle as a trapeze........all, obviously, without a horse.
I really have no idea how to explain this show, except that it kind of reminded me of movies my friend Ariel and I used to make in middle school. If only we had made one about horses. So hopefully those of you who know what that means can understand better. For those of you that don't...that just means, of course, that it was genius. (And more importantly, funny because the actress just totally let herself go.)
I did hear people call it fringe-y, too. Hmm.
This woman is great. (Her name is Flick Ferdinando, production company was Company FZ.)
Is it disparaging to call something fringe-y or is that a compliment?
ReplyDeleteDepends who you're asking! People use it a lot as a compliment, to say that something is artsy and unconventional. But I think it's often just a description to try to justify bad theater. (Not in this case, though.)
