‘Tiger’ a wild family fable that’s sure to warm the heart
Print Edition
“tiger” from Barrowland Ballet is an amazing performance that will leave viewers with smiles on their faces, and maybe even a few tears in their eyes. But don’t worry, they’ll be happy tears.
“Tiger” is a moving piece about a dysfunctional family whose three members — Mom, Dad and their daughter Poppy, — struggle to interact. Mom spends her day cleaning obsessively, while Dad is buried in his work. Both are too wrapped up in their own worlds to notice that their daughter is lonely and unhappy.
The set is a cage-like metal structure with walls made of string and buckets hanging from the ceilings and corners. The audience sits on all four sides of the set, which makes “Tiger” a very intimate experience.
Enters the tiger. Loud roars invade the room, which only Poppy (and the audience) can hear at first. Suddenly the stage becomes wild, bursting with life, colors, lively music as the tiger playfully dances around in the cage and in the audience, bringing life everywhere he goes. After a moment of anxiety and fear, the family starts to lighten up, rediscovering how to love again.
