Absurdism and silliness for children

[Ella Satin @satin_ella]

The first of very few reviews I'm doing this @edfringe over on my experimental blog - a double write-up of Palingenesis and Lost Connection @taiwanseason21

And Then the Rodeo Burned Down @andthentherodeo @theSpaceUK is like Beckett for late-stage capitalism and something about the core of working + life for zoomers. Fantastically written.

For anyone asking me to review their shows - really sorry but I left Edinburgh at the weekend. Currently working through my backlog of shows to review...

[Ella Satin @satin_ella]

Given how slowly I'm publishing my reviews, I'll do a shout-out in the meantime for some shows I really liked and have recommended to other people:

[Ella Satin @satin_ella]

Elf & Duffy: Heist was so fucking absurd and bizarre and SILLY and I LOVED it. Also very cool to see BSL visual vernacular used a little bit, as Duffy calls it 'baby VV'. @ThisDuffy @elf_lyons @BarrelComedy

[Ella Satin @satin_ella]

Without Sin @Summerhallery genuinely felt like the meaning of life for me, and ever since I went I have been seeking out other ways to get a similar experience of mindful conversational intimacy with strangers. I love that kind of stuff. Recommendations welcome!

@TychyWordpress Thank you! It's nice to see that people are actually reading them and even enjoying it! :)

My reviewing style is purposefully weird this #Edfringe, and it's got me thinking about the concept of queer failure (there is a book on it by Jack Halberstam), where you make a conscious choice to not progress or succeed in the normative way, and to embrace childishness and play

Here is my review of @mamoru_iriguchi and @gavinpringle's What You See When Your Eyes Are Closed😴, What You Don't See When Your Eyes Are Open👀 @Summerhallery. My review explores accessibility for people with visual impairments😊.

@mashatiunova1 @PerfRecovery Also thank you! 🌈

[Ella Satin @satin_ella]

@mashatiunova1 @PerfRecovery Oh that's interesting! I'll look out for your stuff :) and yeah, it's tricky to strike that balance within the system we're working in

[Ella Satin @satin_ella]

@allisonrbirt Aw thank you! That means a lot

[Ella Satin @satin_ella]

@WhatsOnStage I'm not just queer, I'm also hungry!
