The rave atmosphere of the performance was clear even when waiting to go in. You could hear the pounding music inside. This was my idea of a nightmare. However, ignoring my personal hatred of rave music, the performance was spectacular.
It was such an interesting concept to explore and a unique way of exploring it. The use of a light bulb as the titular character of 'Ian' was also an innovative idea. We were introduced to history of illegal 80's raves by Ian transporting us through time.
One thing I have to commend the performers on is their energy, how they could still breathe at the end of the performance I will never know. They kept that energy up the entire time and you never saw it falter, except when it was supposed to.
The performance as a whole was interactive, ending in a mass rave on the stage, which was completely optional. Deciding not to join in, it was really fun to watch the audience and performers enjoying themselves. It was a great way to end my first fringe journey, even if I hate raves.
5/5
