Fringelog 2006: Yellow Fever
Yellow Fever was one we meant to go to, but we made a point of going to it when we found out that an old colleague of Nancy’s was involved in making it (and it appears to be basically a family production). It’s supposed to be about growing up as a a Japanese-Canadian girl and some other related stuff. And it might very well be. But unfortunately, I’m really not very good at all at interpreting interpretive dance. I got the childhood stuff from some origami things she did (at the start a crane, at the end one of those finger toys kids use to do fortune telling (Nancy says it’s a MASH game, for “Mansion, Apartment, S(omething), House”). And there were bits where she was dancing like she was having sex or something. But other than those bits I really have no idea what was going on, so I can’t say anything more than that. The dancing was well choreographed though.
