My Sublime Shadow Music by Emma Dean & Jacob Diefenbach Directed by Lynne Bradley Presented by Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre Old Museum Building, Brisbane My Sublime Shadow may have looked like a good idea on paper, with great music and provocative choreography in the mix, but alas it did not come together to form an impressive cabaret show. Instead, I was able to admire the singing and arrangement genius of Emma Dean and Jacob Diefenback, and appreciate the movement of Jillian Geurts and Dale Thorburn, but was left disappointed the show had no worthy purpose other than to display these talents. The concept of our shadows representing our dark side and the need to acknowledge and embrace them was flimsy. Reading director Lynne Bradley’s notes, the idea sounded substantial and deep enough to be explored, but the show didn’t effectively delve into the concept beyond a simple representation...
