Hopeless Games
Company - Do/Fabrik
Reviewer Thelma Good


Review from the 2000 Edinburgh Festival Fringe of this great show.

Great physical theatre this. The extraordinary agility and sense of togetherness of the dancers makes this piece an exhilarating one to watch.

Set in a derelict railway station I saw the passengers and those who wait for them as they passed through. Railways have formed a lot of the history of the last century in Europe, and in this piece I saw the last hundred years pass in front of me, amusing and troubling by turn. They moved on the stage and in the auditorium often doing several interesting things all over the stage, so you missed one and caught the other, much like trains.

Jewgenij Koslov directed the dancers of superb skill - Alexander Bondarew, Irina Koslova, Jewgenij Koslov, Sven Till and Wolfgang Hoffman. Check out Fabrik website, www.fabrikpotsdam.de.
