SEE. THIS. SHOW.
Okay, like I’ve said before, we hate reviewing shows. Hate it. It’s just the worst. That’s why we only do it once a year — at the Fringe Festival. However, occasionally we will see a show that is so kick ass, so weirdly awesome, so ultra-sexy that we simply must endorse it. Walking Shadow’s Robots vs. Fake Robots is one of those shows. I know, I know…I’ve slurped Walking Shadow before. But they consistently do great stuff, so back off!
The pic above (which I digitally stole from one of the actors’ Facebook pages) shows three of the production’s ultra-sexy robots — Shoe Horn, Morse Code, and Nintendo 64 — doing their weird robot thing. It’s a pretty good representation of the show’s high level of awesome.
Two final things: 1.) If you’re interested, I’d visit Walking Shadow’s website and make a reservation. This bad boy has been selling out the teeny-tiny People’s Center Theater. 2.) Upon entering the house, you’re handed a nametag with your very own robot name. HOORAY FOR ROBOT NAMES! Mine was Button Hole…which is eerily close to what I am in real life.
PS — For a review of the show, go here. Kudos to the Strib for resisting the urge to work Tony Kushner or Guthrie Corp. into their Robots review.
