l// I saw the most amazing performance last friday night. The set itself had me feeling 'electric' before the performance began. It was a constructed hotel set in an abandoned industrial area a stones throw from kings cross (if you have a good arm and if your stone is quite light!). There were chairs flowering the land infront of the structure and we were given headsets to enjoy the performance with. I had heard mixed reviews about the performance but must say that I was thoroughly pleased and loved the fact that you could peer into multiple rooms at your leisure through the performance to follow your own curiosity. The soundscape was a mix of everyday experiences such as fluffing a pillow or waterbottles clanging, and some very haunting/spirited music. The dancing was inspiring! the crowd was lively, the toilets were vacant and the drinks were .... interesting (still don't know whether I am a fan of warm apple cider). A lovely feature was that the bottom of the hotel was set up as a bar that you could use throughout the performance. There were may stories weaving through the 3 levels of the hotel... covering everything from love gone wrong, to boredom, to a mothers guilt over an unspeakable act. Unfortunately it has finished here in London but if it comes to your city DO NOT MISS IT! But perhaps pass on the cider.
