I HEART

Lydia Zanetti, Jessie McCall and Emily Campbell

Tuesday 8 March

Wednesday 9 March

7pm at Galatos(off K Rd)
Adult $15, Conc $10

This is what they have to say:

‘Avoid habits’ slash ‘indulge idiosyncrasies.’ ‘Alienation is overdone.’ ‘I HEART forced arch choreography.’ ‘This is getting a little bit StageChallenge.’ ‘Walk for 8, stand for 8, twitch 2, 3, turn on the spot, exit stage left.’ ‘Do not act.’ ‘To end, heavy breathing.’ ‘Move toward comfort.’ ‘Um… snap to black.’

This is what I have to say:

If you are a fan of tissues, drag kings, small stools, film media in dance (is it dance?), being slightly uncomfortable, opinions which are sure of themselves and abstracted yet satisfyingly provocative images and ideas, you will enjoy. If not, hell, go anyway. It'll probably be good for you. What I have seen of these three girls' works was more than worth watching. Easy to watch and delectably difficult to digest. Can bet their performers are nice to sink your eyes into as well.

I'm going to see it on Tuesday. If you're not in the mood for risk-taking, I'll advise as to whether you should go on Wednesday (probably yes. Just go Tuesday).

[They're also at Dunedin Fringe: 8.30pm 18/19 March and 7pm on 20th, at Globe Theatre.]
