JOB: The HipHop Musical
(written and directed by Eli Batalion and Jerome Saibil)

The most adventurous, ingenious and well-performed 60-minutes of theatre around. It will take your breath away. This show blows the roof off the Fringe.

This is a show that words struggle to render. It's polished, dazzling, unexpected, clever, funny, exciting, political and pop-cultured. Two hip-hop artists, MC Cain and MC Abel, perform a socio-political fable in exquisite rhyme. There are plays on words (like "job," which is Job from the Bible; job as in work; Job Lowe, the main character; and so on), razor-sharp political statements about cartoonish bad guys and "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" flowing into "Let it Be." Conventions are overturned, the audience is engaged, and the performances by Eli Batalion and Jerome Saibil dare every other Fringe performer to kick it up another notch. A must-see.
