The performance of Vertical Migration at the very intimate Byron Theatre was captivating! The setting was perfect for this uniquely choreographed performance.
The Lemon Spongecake Ballet dancers are always well-prepared and exude strength and confidence. In this performance, the dancers utilized their formal training, core strength, and acting abilities to effectively engage the audience in a story of domination, subjugation, resolve, hope, and finally liberation.
Some may describe the performance as being "dark" or "intense," but I found it to be an accurate reflection of the high level of competition and estrangement evident in our society.
The performance left a lasting impression on me, and it provided the audience as a whole some philosophical food for thought. I highly recommend this production and the Lemon Spongecake Ballet. Classy, provocative, creative, and original!!
