[Review] Moonjourney
‘ “Triangle” excavate their legendary rock opus flop’ goes the entry in the Fringe guide, and they’re half right, because I see no reason for this show to flop. With tongue firmly in cheek, (cast members)
There’s no backstage antics, no look at the dysfunctional group, this is simple the show that fictional group “Triangle” could have lifted direct from the early seventies, the era of Rick Wakeman, Jeff Wayne and Kate Bush - pioneers of storytelling through the medium progressive rock, dance, leotards and coloured gel filters. At Moonjourney’s heart is Maggie, one of the last free humans now living in solitude on the planet Neutron. Her exile of three hours is broken by Mike and Holgar, who convince her to return and free the Earth. But (there’s always a but, preferably encased in sheer white lycra) the transmat spatial vortex thingy isn’t working as planned, and could take them anywhere.
There are a million touches in here from a whole heap of artists and musical influences - it would be fair to say that Alice Lowe (the writer and lead performer) knows her Wuthering Heights references. If this was 1979 then I’d be applauding a perfect prog rock concert. But it’s not, so what we have is a deadly serious recreation of the times, that (if you want to laugh) is absolutely, delightfully perfect. All it needs a twin LP 12inch vinyl available as you leave the auditorium and the journey will be complete
