ON THE FRINGE: Whale Optics

POSTED: Saturday, September 3, 2011, 1:30 PM

Director/writer/stager Thaddeus Phillips’ usually hectic semi-comic multi-media experience (e.g. El Conquistador) this time comes with a delicious sense of lonely rumination and calm. Carl Sagan (via his Cosmos television series), an elastic troupe of movement-thespians (in particular the quirkily humorous Lee Ann Etzold and the quietly dignified Makoto Hirano) and an audience seated on the Prince’s stage head confidently into the deep. That the deep concerns matters of the heart as well as the battle between snobby intellectualism and nature’s intuitions is what makes the weirdly funny Optics tick. Or swim.

Runs through Sept. 11, $25, Prince Music Theatre, 1412 Chestnut St. MORE INFO HERE.
