Performance

Saturday night we went to see a performance at BMC. The BMC is a performance center around the Lafayette Ave station. The name of the performance is Les Sept Planches de la Ruse. It is a dancing performance. First I want to say the BMC is such a fancy place. The people there are beautiful and elegant. The deco is creative. We took an escalator up. To go to mezzanine. Some white figures floating in the air close to the ceiling. Funny thing is none of the figures has head. Yet, these figures look cool. The overall lighting and design make them so. Blue beam from the top, it spreads nicely on the figures. The figures seem swimming according to my friend. A big portion of the second floor is decorated like a lounge. Red chairs, blue light, bar, elegant people, and young crowd. The building reminds me of an old church. Of course it is not a church converted. But the designer makes it look like a retro.

The performance is about a game. The game was about how you play some geometric shapes. I was told the game was popular a few decades ago. The game was designed for kids to help kids develop intelligence. The game was like a puzzle. Some basic geometric blocks and if you play right, you can always assemble them to a big rectangle. There is no one solution though. You can use your creativity to gather the blocks. The director played the balancing game in the performance. Many interesting combinations. The original flow of the show was appreciative. A good performance.
