Edinburgh Fringe 2012
Theatro Transcendental attended the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, with two productions and a unique workshop program.
HERE'S WHAT I KNOW ABOUT HUMANS, BY LULU THE DOG (FREE) Click HERE to read more about the production, and HERE to view photos/videos. This production was part of PBH's Free Fringe, and therefore was offered for free to audiences, with donations collected at the end. Critics wrote: "The whole experience is rather surreal…. …powerful in its own right and the actress has extremely unique qualities... Kontaxaki gave a very endearing performance as Lulu the dog, trying to make sense of the world ... a philosophical play that leaves you with food for thought.… really nice touches, a great performance…certainly worth a watch. " EdFringe Review 2012 "Surprisingly compelling… charming and visually pleasing." SG Fringe 2012 |
THE JHIVA OF NIETZSCHE
Click HERE to read more about the production, and HERE to view photos/videos. Critics wrote: “…the production is slick, clearly well-thought out, and inventive in its fusion of multimedia, dance sequences and music. Kontaxati is clearly a gifted performer. Her physicality and mannerisms as the soul are instantly likeable and capture a true, unaffected sense of innocence and purity.” EdFringe Review 2012 "Great video footage (credited to Eleni Cosma) as the story of Nietzsche’s journey through his life to the final loss of touch with his soul. … The climactic moments, such as the beginning of Nietzsche’s romance with music, are the best." The Skinny 2012 "The single performer, Korina Kontaxaki, is an expressive and engaging actor, sustaining the audience’s attention throughout the forty-five minute performance..." Broadway Baby 2012
