What I liked

I loved how they used abstract concepts and connections to convey their absolutely nuts storyline. The visuals were also very compelling, from the choreographed movement/dance to the costumes to the use of light throughout. I appreciated how it was an extremely ridiculous story executed largely seriously. Also — I enjoyed how every member of the ensemble had moments to shine. Each person brought their own unique flavor, and it was a pleasure getting to know them throughout.

What I didn't like

I don’t have notes!

My overall impression

So funny and the perfect way to begin my Fringe viewing! This highly physical show makes good use of choreographed movement and the individual personalities/vibes of each of the seven (I think seven???) ensemble members. A series of absurd abstract sequences ultimately lead us to the promise of the title, and a heartfelt conclusion about the power of friendship. The combination of all the above elements resulted in a very funny show that was delightful to watch.
