James & Jamesy—PTE – Cherry Karpyshin Mainstage

A wild, abstract and improvisational romp through time, space and Nietzsche. While clearly relying on the improv skills of Aaron and Alastair (Of James and Jamesy fame) and Nayana of Ragmop Theatre, this show is one I’d lean towards calling clowning, due to the focus on physicality and absurdism. The scenes are all over the place, flowing between more and less abstract moments and in and out of the crowd, both physically and in terms of their constant interaction with the audience. Extremely audience dependent, the show I saw had a great crowd that was very excited to be included, which was definitely necessary for this to be enjoyable. Not necessarily my cup of tea, but a fantastic show regardless.
