Dragonfish

Soleil rattled my entire physiognomy. Dragonfish is like being invited into someone’s pulsating open wound - it is the kind of show which makes you reconsider your hardest, most calcified assumptions of yourself and of the world. It is easily one of the most extraordinary performance pieces I’ve ever seen.... full review

Brave, magical, stunningly disturbing and absolutely beautiful, Soleil Kohl had me in total awe of her incredible work in Dragonfish. Dragonfish takes you on an emotional aquatic roller-coaster, where one minute you think you know where the show is going, and then BAM, you're in a whole nother bracket of feelings. Soleil is a creative genius, and her bravery of baring her soul shown facets to her storytelling of her father that were mesmerizing and heartbreakingly compelling. One of the most memorable shows I've ever seen at Fringe.... full review

This show was absolutely beautiful. I'm still processing it. I wish I could sit with it for longer and really breathe it all in. It is this incredible, tangible poetry and exploration of grief, trauma, rage performed with such precision. The fearless honesty Soleil Kohl displays is astounding. Her ability to transform the theatre into another world and effortlessly bring the audience into it is an incredible gift.... full review

Get into family relationship with a clown who wants our love, who gives us reasons not to love, then brings us to love again... or not. Stunning stagecraft and media that no other show in Fringe I've seen does nearly so well. Also, beautiful visually and amazing sound design. One of the best, most inspiring, most complete shows this Fringe, no doubt. High Emotional Smarts from a very magnetic and vulnerable performer. ... full review
