Cooking Truths
Petri-dish Productions—School of Contemporary Dancers
The actors swarm you on the streets with cookies so you’re not sure if there’s actually going to be baking during the show. The setting starts off à la Iron Chef and changes gears in a big way from there.
While the cooking motif maintains through the journey, it only acts as a backdrop to the main storyline. The plot develops beautifully through flashbacks and gorgeous dance. The well-polished moves flow elegantly from one scene to the next and you’re left enchanted by their grace, power and agility.
Although the outcome is a bit predictable, it doesn’t diminish the thoroughly enjoyable evolution of the adventure. This show stands as an early favourite to be my fav of Fringe.
Hint: get there early and grab a seat at the front. Their facial expressions add a hilarious dimension to this exceptional effort.
