Caeser Twins And Friends (Performance Review)
Independent review.
Caeser Twins website (German)
Definitely worth seeing, if you can make it this week. They really don't shy way from the twincest as a selling point, but what surprised me the most was how funny a lot of the show was-- lots of old-fashioned caberet/silent movie humour that worked really well. My favourite bit was straightforward mostly-silent "me and my shadow" comedy.
There are moments that are really beautiful as well, where it is purely about the aesthetics, and it's pretty small scale (the friends are a female singer/dancer/terribly bendy woman who's about 8inches taller than the twins, and a saxophone player), but I think that works well- certainly, it means that audience response makes a bigger part of the show.
In a related note, after watching this I realised that I lack bouncy things. I want a giant air mattress to jump on, dammit!
