AFTER THE CAUSE

sisu\rab—The Rachel Browne Theatre

I hoped for more here. I expected intricate dance routines with eclectic music to guide me through a vicarious journey After the Cause. I had some questionable days in my past, some memorable experiences, and some that I can’t remember—all of them were better trips than this.

The dreadful music did nothing to evoke experience; sadly, the offensive rap piece was probably one of the most revealing tunes. A few of the dance segments served as a warning to the experience of your body, rather than you mind, but in the end, I wanted to see more facets. In my mind, I would have mood swings of euphoria to happy music, paranoia to eerie music, relaxation to spa music and a crash crescendo to something powerful. Unfortunately, none of those sides showed and the single dimensional show only lasts 45 minutes, which is still way too long to spend on little development.
