Fringelog 2006: Dragonfly: Identity
Dragonfly: Identity, on the other hand, was quite terrible. Overchoreographed, overdramatic, overeverything hackish story of a person with a big giant brain and a person with a big giant heart (and superpowers to match — telepathy and empathy respectively). Granted that any story can be made to sound horrible with the right description, I really think this one was quite bad. Every now and then the story would break into a nativesque story about a dragonfly saving humanity by biting the first Man, thereby giving Man more heart so rather than destroying the world quickly, they would do it slowly and painfully (my embellishment, but it’s pretty close).
The protagonist being the woman with the giant head, very little about this play made any kind of sense, and it was clearly wishing it were a movie or tv show. It just didn’t work on any level.
