The Convolution Of Pip And Twig (PEP)

By Raphael Highgate-Betts | Published on Friday 12 August 2016

Step into the intimate world of twins Pip and Twig: never apart, never doing anything on their own. Watch as they struggle against their entwined lives and take their first steps into independence. Billed as an ‘epic adventure’, the show doesn’t quite live up to its description. Although the performances are very good, the structure of the piece lets it down, making it hard to follow any sort of plot at times. The choreography is impressive, however, well thought out movements helps develop the relationship between the two characters, even where dialogue is lacking. With singing, dancing and DIY props this is an entertaining 50 minutes, even if you’re not always completely aware of what’s going on.

SpaceTriplex, until 27 Aug.
