\"molly_thomas_l_alexi_pedneault_c_and_philip_turkiewicz_r_photo_by_shauna_sloan\"<\/a>Fruit Fruit Mouth Mouth<\/em>, which plays at the Factory Theatre Mainspace as part of the Toronto Fringe Festival<\/a>, is a physical theatre adaptation of Christina Rossetti\u2019s poem \u201cGoblin Market\u201d (1862), with a redundant academic twist. <\/span><\/p>\n

Rossetti\u2019s poem tells the story of two young, very close sisters, Laura and Lizzie, and how one sister, Laura, becomes seduced to trade a lock of hair for the goblins\u2019 forbidden fruit (which she eats in a \u201cBacchic frenzy,\u201d and then becomes cursed when she is no longer able to access the goblin\u2019s market and withers up and nearly dies. Lizzie decides to go and pay with a silver coin, not trading her hair, and take the fruit \u201cto go\u201d instead of enjoying all its pleasures in the presence of the goblins, and so they proceed to assault her, and she becomes covered in the fruit\u2019s juices. Once she returns home her sister licks and sucks and kisses all this juice from her sister\u2019s skin and is restored to herself again. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Illume Collective bring the story to life in a captivating and interesting way. The goblins, who serve as the story\u2019s narrators, have strange voices, which are difficult to decipher at times, but overall the cast use their bodies in evocative ways to really bring this poem, in all its complexity, to life. <\/span><\/p>\n

The problem here is that the Illume Collective bring this poem, in all its complexity, to life, and then they try to un-complicate it, for the benefit of showing the audience that it can be interpreted in many different ways- that the goblins can be played as \u201cgirls\u201d (at a slumber party, obviously), the sisters can be played as brothers (who enjoy being sexualized and seduced by the female goblins, obviously), the assault on Lizzie can be obviously called a rape, the sucking of Lizzie\u2019s juice-covered flesh by Laura can be obviously portrayed as sexual. It\u2019s a didactic attempt to explain to the audience what is already inherent in the first piece, and in much less interesting ways. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Illume Collective doesn’t trust that its audience is insightful enough to appreciate the nuance and complexity of Rossetti\u2019s poem on its own and in the process becomes the theatrical equivalent of Cole\u2019s Notes, which is about as exciting as it sounds.<\/span><\/p>\n
