Funny, unexpected and full of sock drawer confessions.
This week's Figure of Speech featured a fusion of the synthesized and
the natural. Compositions by Andrew Timar and Araz Salek produced a
particular native-wilderness atmosphere. Meanwhile, Cheldon Paterson’s,
aka “Professor Fingers”, pieces set a fantastically modern-artificial
vibe. The two styles at times combined, in one instance joining string
instruments and the sounds of spraying soap bubbles. At other times they
appeared to be conversing, arguing. Circling each other like predators.
This latter element proved to be extremely satisfying.
Meagan O’She’s movements were unusual and fascinating. The modern and
the wild seemed to employ her body as their instrument. Her dancing was
wonderfully interpretive of both creatures. In particular, her
movements to the synthesized sounds were unexpected and kept the
audience watching with curiosity.
Abdominal’s (Andy Bernstein) rap compositions had a genuine
light-hearted and optimistic tone, consistent with his other work. His
spoken word pieces, while revolving around generally petit-bourgeois problems,
were none-the-less profoundly funny.
Arguably his best performance, the piece titled ‘organizational tips for your
sock drawer’ was the smash of the evening, spurting audience members to
share their own sock-drawer confessions during intermission and after
the show. A short sock-cumentary was also filmed during those moments of
bohemian unbosoming.
