Miroirs not-review
Jan. 30th, 2010 06:39 pmMiroirs is one of the revues that's my secret weapon against apathy. The show starts with the stage all mirrored and everyone in gold, and then it gets shinier.
Watched it today, and oh, troupe, you kill me. You kill me with the way you work so well, with the way everyone bounces to the same beat.
Hiromi gets extra credits for killing me with her Snow White dress ♥
My favourite numbers... Apart from Snow White and Cinderella, I do adore the cyberpunk!Medusa one, which is really a Basilisk number to anyone up on their Greco-Slavic beasts. Mizu has Angst, Trench Coat and Sunglasses, being just a Mandarin collar away from being Neo, and then she goes and falls for Tonami-as-Sandra-Dee. It shouldn't work but it does.
But the favourite has to be the Aqua-number, a group dance that flows, from each dancer's individual fingers to the whole group as the waves flow through them. The music suits it, and the set completes them. A moment of sheer Tarakzuka magic.
(Honorary mention for catching my eye: Seshiru, who has mastered the art of getting into the DVD filming angle.)
