Winnipeg Shibari Th. Co.—RRC (enter on William)

When you see a performance that is classified as “unclassifiable” it makes you want to see it, if you are a true Fringer. This is an experience, not a play.

No program, but if you are a prude you will be scandalized, and if you are adventurous you will never forget this. A tender, thought-provoking, and totally different presentation dealing with the Japanese art of rope bondage known as Shibari, which was originally a form of humanely restraining prisoners and evolved into a form of bondage that actually hits healing spots and is extremely sensual.

The audience was so cute on the way out; smiles from ear-to-ear, yet not wanting to make eye contact with anyone else. Unlike any other thing I have ever seen at the Fringe, and I’ve seen more than most. The five-member cast handled a subject most would never attempt with the utmost skill and charm. Fringe on!
