Super Normal Extra Natural
Requardt & Rosenberg
2021-23, London
Produced by The Place 2021
Created by Frauke Requardt and David Rosenberg
This was my third collaboration with dance theatre mavericks Requardt & Rosenberg.
The show featured original songs and music with a binaural soundscape transmitted to the audience via headphones.
Lyrics by David Rosenberg.
Fuelled by Dave Price’s peppy, eclectic pop score, the show leans towards being a musical. It features a sashaying three-person chorus in stylish retro garb, who boogie while lip-syncing with aplomb.
