Street Cirque’s BOUDICCA, Directed, Written & Choreographed by Lauren Elizabeth
I didn’t know anything about Boudiccas, but my friend said she knew a coder, who used the name.
Now I know why. It is a code “for a woman fighting to have her voice heard. It’s been centuries, but I can hear her call being revived. on this stage, in media, in our governments, women are demanding to be heard. Let’s not wait another 2000 years to be heard.” (from Director’s Note.)
Program–The production opens 20 years after the initial Roman invasion of Britain, when Boudicca’s husband the largest advocate for peace passes away. What was supposed to be a smooth transition quickly turns into a violent power grab by the Romans. Boudica, her daughters, neighboring tribes, are forced to act as they contemplate what future is worth living for.” Like an Opera, the story is an outline. Interpretation is all.
Rachel Weekley looked an unlikely warrior queen. She is slight, sensitive, lithe with a dancer’s muscles and grace. Her daughters are al to herl, one a lovely Druid priestess in training, the other a crafty hunter (Hannah Colonnese0 (Kate Brandenburg), whose snares provide food. BOUDICCA weighs almost certain failure, outnumbered by the Roman conquerers, with a future as Rome’s impoverished conquest. She is torn, wanting her daughters to have “tomorrows.” After they are brutalized by a greedy tax (Anton Ashmere) collector, knowing the only choice is to fight,
She transitions from wanting peace at all costs, to realizing the power of a just cause no matter the cost.. Her daughters go from sweet adventurous young women to warriors with a rseriousness their mother regrets. The dances, inspired choreography by Lauren Elizabeth, to celtic sounding music, tell the story underlying the dialogue. The cast, some of which double as Romans, fight, die, suffer, celebrate victory or Roman arrogance.
Notable also were Chelsea Rodriguez’s intricate depiction of a mystical Druid Priest and Sara Minisquero as Boudicca’s general, friend and dogged especially in the last battle. I can see why this story lives on and reverbs for today. Change is the happy ending to this play.
Would be great if this production had another night with a bigger budget. Governor Gaius, was impressive by sheer character, knowing he’s superior to “babarians” than, addressing Boudicca with respect.
