Aomega: on odd 55 minutes

A show about a future world where people evolve out of their bodies into a unified consciousness melded by an alien called Aomega performed by Daniel Nimmo from Australia. 

It opens with Aomega offstage facing a videocam that is then projected onto a large ball suspended from the ceiling.  Eventually Aomega appears onstage and talks to a small stuffed bear also suspended from the ceilling and focusses the videocam on this stuffed bear.  Aomega then directs attention to the audience and accessible audience members get to have their hair toussled, sat on and almost licked although this tall performer probably has the physical dexterity to get to anyone in the audience.  The audience also gets involved in group waving of arms and chanting while our consciousness melds.  If you enjoy lots of audience participation though, this very odd 55 minute show at the intimate Revue Stage is for you.

Aomega is on as part of this year's Vancouver Fringe. For more information meld here.
