EDINBURGH 2017: BWW Q&A- SNAP
Tell us a bit about your show.
SNAP is a multi-faceted, ingenious show combining moments of classic comedy theatre with a unique stage language, magic and illusion. The cast of seven award-winning performers bring to life characters to stage a fabulous fantasy experience to Fringe audiences.
Why bring it to Edinburgh?
The audience we met at Edinburgh Fringe last year asked us to come back to Edinburgh and then we decided to perform again with a more upgraded show to thank them for the affection we received. We are so excited just imagining meeting all of you again.
What sets it apart from other shows at the Fringe?
Last year, many audiences, artists and reviewers said that SNAP! is a form not often seen at the Edinburgh Fringe. We eliminated the talk, mental magic, and illusion that is employed in a typical magic show. Using cheerful characters that are easy to understand, we intertwined a curiosity-filled world view and creative magic acts through a narrative structure. You'll witness that our show is cleverly edited and spans an array of genres as well as stage languages. It's truly a performance that can engage every individual.
Who would you recommend comes to see your show?
Anyone who has ever dreamed of the imaginary world will like our show. But to answer more formally, I would recommend it to all family members. Generally, family shows are catered to entertaining children but SNAP! can deeply move and enthral anyone regardless of age, gender, culture, or language.
Are there any other performances you're hoping to catch at the festival?
There are so many. This year's Edinburgh Fringe is filled with the best performing teams and works from around the world to match that high level. We are going to see Monkey Dance: The Rockappella musical. Mies Julie, Transit and more. We are going to catch as many shows as possible regardless of genre.
Timings and ticket information for SNAP are available on the edfringe website.
