Radioheaded 2

I first watched this show in 2010 with my best friend at the urging of our theatre-nerd mutual friend. And it was amazing.
Now, in 2014, it continues to be my favourite live show and one of the most interesting experiences I've ever had. While my friend couldn't make it to the latest showing, I was introduced to some Sled Island staff who were new to both Calgary and Sled Island and who made the event ever more enjoyable as they watched it for the first time.
The show calls itself "A Listening Party to Watch", which is exactly as it sounds: Radiohead's 2007 album In Rainbows plays in it's entirety - without pause - as twenty dancers perform to the choreography of Denise Clarke. It is at some moments haunting, some moments funny, and always beautiful.
 I can only imagine the direction given for the song "Nude", in which all members of the cast become romantically, and then sexually, interested in the folding chairs on stage ("You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking").
Please, please, please, if you ever get the opportunity to see the show - GO!
