Festival review: Into the Fog; Venue 13 (venue 13)

INTO The Fog is performed by students from California Institute of the Arts, and nobody could ever accuse them of not giving their all.

Torn faces convey feeling, drenched bodies show the sheer physical effort Into the Fog demands of them. Yet it’s like they’re inside a castle, and we’re across the moat – somebody needs to lay down a drawbridge and let us in.

If there’s a story at play here (and the illuminated branches and torn books suggest there is), then tell us what it is – because as an abstract work this just isn’t strong enough.

Until 18 August. Today 7pm.
