Exotica - One4Review

This piece of dance / physical theatre was created and performed by Anushie Yarnell and was originally commissioned by the European Union to mark the EU expansion. Some of her advanced publicity says ‘her shows are impossible to label’ and ‘A corporeal appatition of female form, whose animalistic and monstrous characteristics reveal her to be other than human.’ I don’t  totally know about that, but I do know that we were treated to an thoroughly absorbing hour as Ms Yarnell performed her utmost, using all of her space and more, accompanied by a strange and unusual soundtrack and a multitude of props. Dance is not my most favourite medium of theatre, I confess to being somewhat of a philistine. If the show had been in the dance &  physical section of the brochure I would probably not attended and in doing so would have missed what was truly an experience. ***
