MATADOR has successfully drawn in an illustrious crowd for several years now and Adelaide Fringe 2024 is no exception.
Lovingly challenging its audience with the antiquated concepts of both the divine feminine and masculine, Matador is a raunchy, yet delicate, love letter to the LGBTQI+ community.
Dancers become both a physical extension and vessel for poetry in the art of movement as the show bravely explores passion, vulnerability, sensuality and touch.
The audience is not only offered a window into the heart and soul of every love story ever told, they are vicariously provided a much-anticipated backstory to Lil Nas X’s video MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name). The devil is very much in the details.
MATADOR certainly doesn’t disappoint; however, it does fall on the more expensive end of the shows available to see at this year’s Adelaide Fringe. If you’re looking to see a high-quality production and your pocket poses no limitation, then MATADOR is certainly worth a look-in.
4/5 Stars.
