And again: THIS IS NOT A SERIES OF REVIEWS. THIS IS A BLOG.

Just feeling the need to offer a Government Health Warning to readers every time I start typing something now ...

That was the warning about the blog about the dance about AIDS. As you do.

Well, Robyn Orlin and City and Theater and Dance Group did anyway, last night (and Saturday) at the Rep. And, weirdly, it was strangely uplifting. They managed to bring out the whole story of South African AIDS victims, not just the horror and menace, but also beauty, hope and even lots of humour. One of my favourite moments was watching Mr IDFB himself David Massingham being attacked by 7 foot condom-headed African man in a table cloth. (Before I get lynched, it's not cos I want Mr Massingham to be in any way abused, it was just an amusing sight.) There was also the videographer - who played a vital and visible role in the performance - who, having obviously felt like he suddenly needed a banana, decided that it was prudent to put a condom on it before putting it into his mouth.
