A Sad-Ass Cabaret
TJ Dawe—Dragon Arts Collective
Based on the name and the write-up, I expected an array of boohoos but many of the stories aren’t sad at all. They’re sometimes feisty, sometimes angry, but always spirited. Veteran Fringer Dawe delivers the tales while each bio has accompanying songs. There are some problems with the singing falling off key but they still manage to achieve a mood of melancholy.
I am curious about the red lighting throughout the show. Normally, red associates with anger and blue connotes sadness. I would rather see the blue since the continuous red cut through my eyes like lasers into my brain. Sorry but I had to put on sunglasses 10 minutes in, which helped a bit.
