“Devon More can make a 75-minute Cold War history lesson fly by.
The multitasking musician from Vancouver uses a half-dozen instruments and a live looping board to build a cinematic one-woman cabaret about her years-long sojourn to Germany — during which she biked the footprint of the Berlin Wall looking for traces of division. Berlin Waltz is a busy, colourful show despite its grey, gritty setting. Beyond the instruments, there are patriotic sock puppets, audience props and a video montage supporting the musical storytelling. The narrative cycles past at a blistering pace. It goes so fast, you’ll probably miss a stoic German punchline or two. More is a talented storyteller and performer who manages to fuse the past with modern political commentary, while highlighting a poignant example of collective victory in the face of oppression.”
