Fringe review: ‘All The Hullabaloo’ invites your inner child to play make-believe

Must see

Return to childlike imagination with Corpus Dance Works’ “All The Hullabaloo.” The Twin Cities group’s performance is captivating and whimsical, as the dancers’ combination of sharp and fluid movements never leave room for a dull moment. Intermissions are met with humorous monologues, questioning why adults overcomplicate life and asking questions like, “What if we could save the world in our pajamas?” Props are inventively used to create fruit-cereal rain showers, bedsheet rowboats and cardboard cut-out starry nights. The show invites the audience to revisit what it was like, once, to play make-believe.

Presented by Lily Conforti and Corpus Dance Works at the Southern Theater; 2:30 p.m. Aug. 4, 5:30 p.m. Aug. 5, 7 p.m. Aug. 8, 10 p.m. Aug. 9
