Fringe World. Directed by Rebecca Price.Paper Mountain, Wellington St, Northbridge, WA. Jan 29-30, 2018
On a black set, on an unlit stage, solo performer Rebecca Price, dressed in an old style diving helmet and gear, and weighed down with chains, goes through a daily routine.
An interesting exploration of living life in the abyss, with the weight of the world on your shoulders.
An essentially wordless performance piece, except for the well constructed audiovisuals, it is underscored by emotive old-style jazz. Some of the narration on the film is difficult to discern, but this does not detract from the message.
