I’ll admit it. I’m having a bit of a hard time finding the words for this review. Somehow I feel like just saying “Robert Lepage’s Lipsynch is phenomenal and if you ever get the chance to see it you should go” doesn’t seem to be enough. But it sums up how I’m feeling. And it seems so big it’s hard to find succinct words to describe it.
But I’ll try…
From the press release:
The Fringe, Toronto’s largest theatre festival, is geared up and ready to provide the most accessible, exciting and affordable entertainment in town. There isn’t another place in the city to catch rising stars from around the world, all for under $10, and with 150 productions at 30 venues to choose from, this year there’s something for everyone.

A full review is to follow, but just in case you are still wondering whether or not to get tickets to this show for the last performance today, then do it. Of course, I’m pretty sure they’re sold out, but they may have a waiting list, or perhaps if you go there in person and beg enough?
If you are lucky enough to already have tickets (YAY!) be forewarned that it’s ‘woofstock’ this weekend, making getting around bloody difficult. Front and Wellington are both closed from Jarvis to Yonge, so you can’t get past Front Street by car at all. I’m not sure how the North-South transit stuff is being effected. And walking is some special kind of hell because the place is JAMMED with people and dogs.
What I’m saying is give yourself lots of time to get there.
Some other reviews on the show can be found at:

Continuous City, a production from The Builders Association, is a critically acclaimed ‘multi-media experience’ that plays internationally. It is making it’s Canadian debut at LuminaTO this year. You can expect lots of video and some pretty cool folding screens.

The house lights were still up when Catalyst Theatre’s Nevermore, The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe, started at the Winter Garden Theatre last night. It took the audience a couple of seconds to realize and to settle down but once they settled they were hooked. Nevermore was co-commissioned by LuminaTO as part of their celebration of Edgar Allan Poe and last night was the Toronto Premiere.
