The first preview of Idiot Savant last night. I’d never seen a Richard Foreman piece and the whole experience was a bit like marzipan- perplexing, wacky, difficult to create, vaguely uncommon, and only recommended in minute doses.
It didn’t make sense. It didn’t have a clear plot. It bubbled up with bizarre movements and sound effects. It included a giant, crucified duck (among other things) and when it finished all I could think was, more!
