Conference of Strange is in the form of a lecture, and it’s 30 minutes (not an hour as billed), and it opens with a woman ironing a projection screen, and then the air, and then almost ironing her face. Strange.It starts fantastically comic, but towards the end of this brief performance lecture on life, sexuality, humanity and contraception the tone turns. It suddenly is politically charged, it’s making a statement, and this jars. It’s like a backwards bathos, and I’m not entirely sure it works. Our performer is very funny, she’s physically and vocally great, but over time this becomes tired, the same jokes get used, and - oh wait, why on earth is she taking her clothes off?The power of this piece is also in its technical achievement. A projector screen provides the lighting, and inventive (though probably not original) use of it to draw on or around our performer is great, but she’s also very often standing in the wrong place.That’s not to say this isn’t entertaining. If you’ve nothing better to do, get along to it - it’s free after all.
