Mr. Nep?, an entry in the in the Toronto Fringe Festival by KiS Productions currently playing at the St. Vladimir Theatre, is a fun science fiction comedy. What is the measure of a human being in an imaginable future when the brain is interchangeable with technology? In forty minutes of dark comedy, Mr. Nep? gives its audience an idea what it would be like.
The first half of the one hour performance had various lightbulbs strewn across the stage to form a large circle. From the first second the single light bulb lit up I knew I was in for a immersive theatre experience.
This show is a mix of personal story-telling and one-on-one spirit readings between Carolyn and members of the audience.
Her storytelling style comes off as that of an affable aunt telling stories around the kitchen table. It was interesting to hear about her life, and the way she spoke kept me engaged and interested in what was happening.
