The play, "Caws and Effect," by Jessica and Chloe (Mind of a Snail Company, Vancouver), looks at the world - in this case, "Sascawtoon" -through the imaginary eyes of adventurous crows/ravens. I had no idea that two overhead projectors could be put to such dynamic poetic effects, bringing into action various layers of changing, moving, coloured foils with comic-style illustrations, along with Jessica and Chloe's flights about the stage, and lots of other details. This is an unbelievably beautiful, enchanting, mesmerising story, accompanied by caws, clicks, chirps, flutters, and music, all drawing the audience in. Outstanding!
