[Reellife] Catch it while you can!

[dave olsen]

I just saw Cucci & Cabana <http://cuccicabana.com/> and I really enjoyed it.

It's a clown show that takes the stage and holds it.  Joey Lesperance and Emily 
Leclerc play 4 very entertaining characters that will not only make you laugh 
out loud, they will make you think!

I love how it starts slapstick (even with the opening credits) and then 
maintains a comedic edge even when the clowning gets serious. It's all about 
body image and one upping the Jones so you can probably guess where that's going.

Only thing is, this is fresh and new and you simply won't guess where it 
goes...unless I'm totally out of the loop!

Even the TV commercial is something I've never seen before and totally stole the 
show.

The costumes are superb, the lighting excellent, staging/props magnificent, and 
the surtitles right on the mark: any English speaker will not only understand 
but will laugh right along with the Francophones.

I can't say enough how much I appreciate having serious issues presented with 
humour. Cucci & Cabana <http://cuccicabana.com/> dives into one of the craziest 
parts of civilization and comes out shining and leaves us with a big smile on 
our faces.

Don't miss it: it only plays two more nights (Friday and Saturday, May 10 and 
11, at 8pm) at Studio 16 <http://cuccicabana.bpt.me/> (1555, West 7th Ave near 
South Granville in Vancouver).

Dépêchez-vous!

Did you know that in Scandinavia...
--> there are laws protecting children from all forms of spanking and bullying, 
even from parents
--> these laws do not imprison or punish parents but instead raise awareness 
(http://www.empathicparenting.org)
--> the elderly are able to remain at home thanks to programs that provide free 
meals, free transportation, and free care/
