Tonight I'm going to see the play Countries Shaped like Stars at the Ottawa Fringe Encore Festival. My first, completely and utterly uninformed, impression of this show is to class it in the same realm of Maureen's performance in Rent. Its look makes me nervous and I'm still not quite sure what I'm getting myself into. All that being said, I'm always excited to see new theater that pushes boundaries. It promises to be interesting and thought provoking and I'm curious to see how it all plays out.
Another curiosity I have is for the audience. If it is as zany as the photo suggests the crowd could either be very cold and unreceptive. However, if they embrace it with open arms this could be one of the most welcoming environments in the world with all those who are there, just enjoy the moment.
Looks can be deceiving, is one of the mantras in theater and every performance brings something new.
Get back to you soon
Elyse
