Of Two Minds
by Ramya Jegatheesan
If there’s one word I would use to describe this play, it’s psychedelic. This is bad news if you’re sober.
Marie Brassard’s Me Talking to Myself in the Future is an invitation into Brassard’s inner consciousness. This journey is imagined and realized through atmospheric music created by musicians seated on-stage (one of them really should turn down his screen light) and a towering screen projecting 16mm video footage reminiscent of 1960s art house films. Brassard speaks in lulling hypnotic tones as she spins her tales.
I was of two minds about this performance piece.
