CanStage - The Overcoat

Act one - make a coat. Act two - lose a coat. Fairly simple plot presented as an opera. Not to my taste, but interesting since I was here...

Art of Time - Sound and Colour: Synesthesia & Scriabin

It doesn't get much better than listening to Andrew Burashko playing the piano while the colours ebb and flow in the room. We had awesome seats, with a bird's eye view of his fingers flying over the keyboard. A great evening!

CanStage - In This Body

Not exactly my cup of tea (recall I am not a fan of dance) but the singer was awesome and a number of the dance pieces were great.

Mirvish - Gobsmacked

Great a cappela, voice calisthenics, harmonies, etc - a beautiful musical performance. Outstanding performers with awesome voices. The vocal percussion was especially amazing.

Factory - After Wrestling

A touching story of grief and conflicting emotions and the process to move on. All four characters were really well cast and genuine in their respective roles.

AGO - ReBlink

Interesting concept, but will thus encourage the younger generation to focus on the "tricks" vs the artwork. Hmmm. Have to wait and see how this took evolves.

Soulpepper - Idomeneus

Unusual approach, oulining multiple scenarios with eclectic costumes and a naked stage - captivating! Culminating in a joyous dance of life, we really enjoyed it.
