Orlando Fringe 2011 Review: Unspoken

Many shows spend the duration of their performance conveying ideas and thoughts. "Unspoken," produced by the Empty Spaces Theatre Co(llaboration) in association with PUReMOTIONs, is about the things we don't say - because we are afraid, because we don't want to hurt anymore, or simply because of social constraints. Whether it's resentment, frustration, unhappiness, or loving someone in vain; this show explores the depths to which these emotions run, blending music and dance with passionate, purposeful acting.

Choreography and direction from Nicole Yezzi adds another dimension to the feelings exhibited on stage and a blurry projection of words emanates the vocalized emotions; a man who resents he cannot walk and his estranged daughter and miserable wife, co-workers who secretly love one another but cannot express their feelings...these are only a handful of the vignettes that comprise this poignant piece.

If you appreciate dramatic dance and acting, then this is one of the performances you will want to see at this year's Orlando Fringe Festival.
