The lights went down, and figures staggered slowly onto the stage accompanied by loud mouth-breathing. No, this was not a stage adaptation of
The Walking Dead (although I would totally go see that), it was
Live Action Set's newest creation entitled The Sparrow. Like their previous two works presented at the Southern Theater (
Basic North and
The Half Life)
The Sparrow is an odd and lovely piece that combines movement, music, acting, and spoken words. Not quite dance, and very far from what we typically think of as theater, it's an experience that defies description, but is definitely recommended if you're looking for something different and beautifully expressive (even if I'm not sure of what).
