BWW Review: Spellbinding Multi-Sensory CONFECTION at Folger Theatre


Confection is a spellbinding multi-sensory dance and theater performance that contemplates decadent consumption and the high cost of feeding our appetites. The highly imaginative, gorgeously rendered, thought-provoking Confection is performed by New York's acclaimed Third Rail Projects, considered one of the leading theater companies creating site-specific, experimental artistic performance. The world premiere immersive event is staged in the old-world Tudor splendor of the Folger Library's private Paster and Sedgwick-Bond Reading Rooms. A rare chance to glimpse the curlicued dark wood and ornate plaster lit by candlelight (albeit safe, battery powered candles) is, indeed, icing on the cake.

Commissioned by Folger Theatre in association with Before 'Farm to Table': Early Modern Foodways and Cultures, Confection is a rollicking rumination on opulence, inequity, and teeny-tiny desserts.
