Theatre review: High North Movement, C ECA (Venue 50), Edinburgh

THIS one gets my prize for craziest Fringe show of the kind you’re unlikely to see anywhere else.

High North Movement

C ECA (Venue 50)

Star rating: * *

Part interactive dance exercise – think Peep Show’s Rainbow Rhythms – and part academic lecture attempting to persuade people to move north (something to do with dispersing the population) it’s incongruous, bizarre and strangely compelling.

Norwegian dance artist/ political activist Liv Hanne Haugen has a great physique, but her movement style is dated: a fusion of Flashdance-esque high kicks and 1970s conceptual “becoming a tree” stuff. Holding a large dried fish, she leaps about the stage. You’ll certainly laugh, but perhaps not always where intended.

• Until 27 August. Today 6:15pm.
