Review of The Colors Interactive Comeback Show
"This mind bender of a show was part cheese, chance, insanity, ADD, shit, inspired
nonsense – and all unabashed chaos. The programme blurb is quite deceptive – it
tells you, The Colors is a legendary, long forgotten band who never released a record
now making a comeback… and are notoriously late to shows. Which would explain
why they never turned up… instead, a very embarrassed manager is forced to stall for
time after their explanatory film breaks down. Luckily the drummer from The Colors
tribute band is in the audience – and one by one, he’s joined by the rest of his band.
See where this is heading? It’s all a ruse – there is no band and the whole show
revolves around the chaos which emerges when they leave their audience hanging.
What happens next is an inexplicable melange of happenstance and bizarrisms tricked
out to tell the myth of The Colours – including full frontal nudity (from an audience
member), each band member playing a different song at the same time, mocking
covers, guest performers (who looked very surprised to be there), impromptu music
conjured from all over the world, and much more; with the audience playing a
decisive role throughout. Every show is so open to chance and the ability of the
audience to take the concept and run with it, that no two will be the same. It turns
being utter crap to its advantage like nothing you’ve ever seen – and I laughed myself
silly."
