Every Time I See Your Picture I Cry

Venue 3 – The Playhouse Studio

 

This was a unique Fringe show.  Visual artist Daniel Barrow narrates as he tells the story of a young artist struggling to grow up amidst bullies, gender confusion, and the constant knowledge of being different from everyone else.  Barrow’s narration is soothing and full of subtle emotion.  The story is told by moving transparencies on an overhead projector; the layers, the visuals, the detail, and the illusion of movement are all beautifully created and fascinating.  The story is truly interesting and reflective.  The music and video accompaniment are also well weaved into the mix.  I found this to be a great performance, a different Fringe experience, and a must see show.
