Review: Trauma-Kit
Trauma-Kit, a theatre/dance piece from Raptive Media, explores the experiences and transformations of a young woman as she undergoes a new and experimental form of treatment. The show’s various stages almost exclusively make use of a cord and harness hung from the ceiling of the space which created interesting oppurtunities for different types of movement.
I’m uninterested in an emotionally muted performance of any sort unless the skill and technique presented totally blows me away. However, Trauma-Kit provided what some other dance shows this year lacked, which was an emotional connection with the performer. Veronique Lefort impressed with the grace of her movements and the power of her emotions.
This gets a: Recommended (but be prepared for a show labelled “dramatic psychosis”)
