Fringe Festival "Cabaret Voler" review by lenin1991

Great performance, distracted by the awkward emcee
Rating: 4

KC Fringe Festival

Cabaret Voler was a great collection of mini-performances, each having distinct music and choreography.  While it might seem like there are only so many ways to spin around in fabric frighteningly suspended over a hardwood floor, it was consistently enthralling.

Crosstown Station was a great venue, with comfortable couches spread around the room.  However, the couple tables in the middle of the floor seemed ill-conceived to begin with and proved to be so.

One distraction was the emcee -- the program listed Lucky DeLuxe, but it was someone else (at least on Tuesday night) -- who filled the moments transitioning from one number to the next.  She wasn't terrible, but her jokes were amusing yet not laugh-out-loud funny; she started blaming the crowd for not reacting enough, which made for an unfortunate and uncomfortable distraction.
