Austin McCormick is a genius! His amazing
Company XIV did it again! This time a sexy fantasmagorical interpretation of
Cinderella. The combination of opera, circus, Baroque dance, vaudeville and cabaret is enormously engaging in this erotic and fun production. The costumes, lighting, music, and movement were all incredibly top-notch and mesmerizing. They certainly know how to maximize the aesthetic possibilities of 18th century undergarments!
The Cinderella narrative is kind of sparse -- providing the occasion for incredible, sultry and comedic numbers that I can't wait to see again. My favorite performances were
Katrina Cunningham as the chanteuse/Fairy Godmother, and
Davon Rainey as the high camp, extraordinary dancer playing the Stepmother.
