The Writing on the Stall
Fill The (W)hole—Dragon Arts Collective
I really wasn’t sure what to expect from this show. As a man, my experience with washroom graffiti limits to curses, hate messages and the obligatory pictures of genitals. I had no idea that women’s washrooms housed graffiti as well, and absolutely no idea that their graffiti has meaning!
At the pensive level, this show takes me back to my Women’s Studies, gender differences courses. At the social level, I very much enjoy the inside view into what happens behind the door with the skirt. From either perspective, this enlightening show keeps me rapt the whole time. I can only guess but from a women’s perspective, I wonder if there are moments of remembrance and déjà vu?
The choreography needs a tune-up but otherwise, the dance scenes are entertaining but it’s the skits that excel in this excellent production. Warning, you need to climb 60 steps to get to this venue and there’s no air conditioning. A hand fan wouldn’t be a bad idea if it’s a hot day and you’re conditioning isn’t great.
