Heartstrings’ experimental chorus ‘kills’ the characters
A scene from “Identical Twins”, a more orthodox Heartstrings production. / William Oeri
You go to the theatre expecting full throttle action, some buoyant characters struggling against a dramatic tide and some semblance of a storyline. That could be true of traditional theatre, but not the fresh experimental theatre that Heartstrings and other drama outfits are experimenting with.
Experimental theatre in its full glory is considered a higher cadre of theatrical performance because it often ignores traditional parameters in efforts. It is intended to spice up the act with fresh ideas.
