Viva Dance Company—The Rachel Browne Theatre
Through my Fringe journeys, I’ve seen a lot of dance shows (A LOT!). I love dance routines, especially when they show off how elegant, agile and beautiful the human form can be. Some of the shows I’ve seen are truly spectacular; this one stands among them.
Admittedly, often I don’t get it—I walk out of the theatre and think to myself, “I loved that show, but I didn’t understand it. What were they trying to say and what were they doing?”
Thanks to some well-timed narration and appropriately lyricked songs in this presentation, I got it! And it’s beautiful! If you only see one dance show, see this one. You’ll love it.
Audiences in Winnipeg love to give standing ovations. I’ve seen people stand and clap for absolute garbage. This was the first Fringe show of the year that I’ve seen where people got off their seats—and
this time, it was well-earned. I was off my seat too—and that says a lot.
