Review of the Aluminum Show

Bridget Ilene Delaney
My mom, my sister, and I all went to see The Aluminum Show as part of the 2011 Banners Series. This show was extremely different. However, it was a fun show. It will make you think about aluminum in different ways. It will no longer be only something found as a wrap in kitchens and a material used to make soda cans.

In this show, the aluminum seems to come alive as dancers make aluminum move.

The show is a story about how a small machine, or an aluminum tube that is born and then loses its parents. It looks all over for them. While looking for its parents, it goes on many adventures.

The story may not be clear, but it does not matter as any of the dancing, acting, and use of aluminum is impressive.

The audience gets to participate in the show, too. At first, the show starts with an announcement like the announcements given before an airplane flight. The people are dressed in aluminum.

The show then starts with two big machines in love and they have a baby machine. Then the adventures start.

During the show, the audience passes huge tubes of aluminum as far back as they can reach. At another time the audience gets to bounce huge aluminum "pillows" across the seating area.

The show uses materials that are recovered from industrial factories. These are used to build the set, dress the cast, and interact with the audience.

The only talking that occurs is at the beginning when the announcement is made. The rest is only action on the stage and interaction with the audience. There are no language barriers with this show.

Tickets to the aluminum show seem to run from $10 to $70. At these prices, this show is definitely worth seeing if tickets can be afforded.
