White Out

Walking into a new theater, I realized I was also walking into a new world, one I've never been in before.

The first piece, 'pass the goddam butter' was ravishing. I greatly enjoyed the hectic atmosphere of many people in a small space, with everyone trying to be unique in their own quirky way. It made me think about my family gatherings. With the youngest being 4 and the oldest being 70, 20 people and a dog running around the house trying to make themselves know. It is the most chaotic time of year, but also the most fun. In the piece I saw people creating new dance moves, and others copying moves. Exactly like my family, everyone meshing together, just a mess. The table was my favorite part of the whole show. The way they made intense rhythms with their utensils, cups, and plates made my heart throb to he beat. The surprising screams, falls, and jumps from randoms at the table kept me at the edge of my seat. I was sad when I realized it was over.

My second favorite piece was 'getting there' with my favorite part being when the giant strawberry fell out of the sky. It was surprising, beautiful, intense, and outright hilarious. Again, this piece made me think of kids going crazy. The girl picked up the strawberry like it was her long lost baby doll and protected it from the boy, who only wanted it because she had it. This story went in and out of the main plot and made me laugh out loud every time. I love watching each character with their own unique personalities.

I'm glad I stepped into that world.
