Margin Festival taste: Four offers

Minnesota festival margin Offers can be uneven, excessive, unexpected – or three at once.

With the spread of more than 100 production throughout the city, the Minnesota Ferring Festival is very sprawling so that it cannot be captured in one. This is just a small sample: four offers that emerge for their concept, implementation or absolute chaos.

From a comic insult to the Shakespeare lottery, here is a glimpse of what this year’s margin offers.

Carosil Sad 2: Hershel Dushburg’s death in a timely manner.

Star, producer and co -author Sam Landman Maamarah in the scene of the twin cities theater, playing frequently, Chambel every man. Here he plays the title of the title, Herschel Douscheburg, Landman’s brutal role turns. Douscheburg is a comedian insulting Puria, which exploded at a former margin festival 15 years ago and has just woke up from a coma, a lounge suit integrating it on his body.

In fact, a complement to “A Carousel” for the year 2010, and the exhibition knows how there was such a long gap between the products. Surface, the story revolves around the conflict between the school of the elderly of very fun tremors and a new world of shy comedians and social study, but Landman and the company do not take over. Both are treated as terrible.

Instead, the show is amazingly disturbed with jokes around the theater, and the performance of twin cities in particular – especially the margin festival. It is fair to assume that there was no offer that is searching for local actor Tyler Michaels King, as well as jokes about stock beds, and the physical process of organizing a play and cavity coverage of local arts.

It is in victory, but it is never precious. Instead, the KNOCKABOUT sensitivity has the CD that remembers the cartoons more than a direct theatrical performance, and if you miss one joke, there are seven others behind. My favorite: try to remember its past, Douscheburg can only remember the sound from various videos. I also, Hershel. Me too. (Max Spareber)

Guns! Musician

The finger rifles are immediately graduated in this showAlthough the “finger gun” is not completely appropriate, as the crew of 10 of 10 automatic rifles and other firearms of imagination carries. “Pio! Pew! Pew!” Ricochet around theater.

A woman next to the theater tends in the tour and whispered, “Are these” guns! Music “or” Romeo and Juliet? “It also plays in the theater.

We look at the stage. One of the actor lifted what appears to be the air bazoka.

“Guns! Music,” I say. It excels.

It is very bad, because she immediately lacks part of Johnny Bonham, 5 years old, riding his knee at his birthday party, after his father AR-15, who uses him to “bomb” candles on his cake. Adults in the room, all of which are the heat of mobilization, fever. the solution? Block the knees, and ultimately, everything that hinders the second amendment. Thus, it begins with an hour’s musical comedy.

Price Calle, the producer of the writer and director Baris Calle, did something in a country that leads the world in the violence of weapons and fire in schools. Music makes it easy for us to be absurd. This theme is dark, but the text and its dungeon offer a perforated satire with a non -tight stream of satirical, pun and sports knee (there are no two knees that make funny walk).

Where “The Musical” misses the music part. For one of them, the musical instruments of the living band (which are wonderful) overcame the singing, making it difficult to hear at all. When you are audible, songs feel like a later idea instead of driving the plot and turning the show. There are some music comedian winners, though, as when the 9-1-1 band that holds music and grooves of actors with loved firearms play. (Alex V. Cipolle)

“Romeo and Juliet: lottery style”

What is the offer that fate can rule more convenient than “Romeo and Juliet?”

It has been implemented and adapted nearly 450 years ago, this classic may seem exhausted – however Catherine Davka produced It proves that there is still room for something new. In this stripped version, five performance are randomly assigned. This casting is determined by the lottery in the top of the width, where each of them chooses its role by drawing it from a pile of paper scraps on the stage of the stage.

The original Shakespeare usually requires two or more hours to perform two hours, but the Warmka shaved enough to suit the festival’s limit for 50 minutes; He gets a right at this point. While the adaptation is transmitted with the skill of emotional arches, it moves so quickly that I sometimes yearn for more time to sit with love and loss. It still provides the most famous theatrical lines and brings the audience most of its moments and blood.

Artists are what makes the show. The leadership of the actors and the chemistry of their band leads to telling stories that feel smooth and immediate. The team, which consists of the current Minnesota Dolhouth University students and a member of the teaching staff. The actors team explains how to give full knowledge of the entire production deeper and more coherent than focusing on one role alone.

Each performance will contain different pairs, but Juliet from Olivia Nelson was raw, personal and wonderful. The scene of her balcony versus Rome’s Rome Romeo is warm and influential – it picks up what you should feel the best love stories. Molly Fabian Mercotio was loud and emotional on the right path.

This “by chance” raises the old story above the traditional rehabilitation, sex, or fixed rehabilitation. Instead, it makes it a story about the final disappearance of those who dare love the standards and borders described in the past. (Anika Besst)

"Book Chamber: a failed documentary film"

A margin theater has its tendencies. He sits on the edge of the prevailing theater. It is linked to heavy messages and is often inhabited by the children of the White Suburbs Theater, in an attempt to work through mother’s issues. At least, this is the opening monologue “Book Chamber: a failed documentary film” It suggests – the idea that the offer continues to SKEWer and the interrogation for the next 45 minutes.

Among a group of comedians as they are preparing for their Fringe Festival hole, the “writer’s room” is a set of drawings on a variety of topics, which sometimes spoil the types of offers that you may see at the margin festival. One has a man in Fedora who reads the dry dialogue and theater trends from a sexual scene in Wes Anderson makeup. The last lesbian couple seeing a fans of lovers while trying to build IKEA furniture.

The exhibition is aware of itself, and the chaotic process shows somewhat to create a marginal play. It breaks the drawings with scenes inside the writer’s room, where the comedians argue about what should be allowed in production.

One of the writers insists that the show should be relied upon by the local references and jokes, which were almost immediately dropped. Another is repeatedly fighting for his drawing from the food critic who was imprisoned in Auschwitz – an idea that I hated as well. Initially, the joke is launched as tasteless, provocative just because of the provocation. But the second look reveals a smart blow in a breed that can be recognized by the margin humor.

Some drawings that reach the theater are not completely formed, with an embarrassing ban that can benefit from a rehearsal or two. However, handcrafted quality of the “writer’s room” feels at home for Pastiche and send this type of margin. (Yaqoub Al -Wii)
