There hasn't been anything much in this year's festival with quite the same degree of spectacle that Fuerzabruta brought to the party last year.
So I was delighted by Mortal Engine on Tuesday. It was nominally a dance show but really, a light show with a few dancers thrown in to justify its inclusion in the International Festival. But it was the most spectacular light show I have ever seen. So we'll not split hairs.
Have a look at the video clips on the website. They totally don't do it justice but imagine them magnified many times in a giant hot and sweaty theatre with a rapt audience. It got them a (albeit very uncommitted) standing ovation.
