Spin Odyssey

Apparently the B-boy ensemble are world famous having been champions of the ‘Battle of the Year 2005’ and won the ‘2006 Tap Water Award for Dance’. Thanks to this interesting and intriguing show at the C venues, they are now becoming known to Edinburgh Fringe Festival viewers.

Basically the story of Odysseus is brought up to date with interactive video footage, modern music, break dance, hip-hop, dance fights, quick changes and a slight Spin on the story of the Trojan Wars!

Apollo the Sun God rewards Odysseus the responsibility of guarding ‘The Spin’ but warns him that if he should loose ‘The Spin’ great woes will befall him!

Guess what? ‘The Spin’ escapes and Odysseus and his companions travel through time and space to arrive at ‘Apollo’s City of Music’ a dingy pub in the heart of Fringe Festival Edinburgh, where Apollo plays the saxophone. ‘The Spin’ slips into an empty drinks can, into a baseball, a football, a basketball, an apple etc and Odysseus and his companions follow, splitting up in to various directions to have a greater chance of success.

Told mainly through the video display, the music and superb dance, but to get the best out of the show sit on one of the first two rows or you could miss out on quite a lot.

Hopefully this brilliantly talented group will be back at the Fringe in the future they are such a talented bunch with great writers and unusual ideas it will be interesting to see what they come up with next.
