synetic theater印象

Theatre done through dance unlike any you've ever experience.

Beloved and I went to see Jekyll and Hyde. Not having done my homework I did not realize this was a wordless show. It was a great surprise that the lead and supporting cast were phenomenal. My thinking was this would be campy, and although there were moments where they came close to the campy line...a Michael Jacksonesqe dance number comes to mind...the line was balanced. It was exciting and gave me a full understanding of "physical theatre". It was a powerful and very sexy 90 minutes. This particular show is NOT for children or those that are sensative to sexuality. We loved it.

Synetic's brand of theater blends narrative, movement, technology and a visceral approach that's compelling. While not every show is a home run, they are consistently inventive. The theater is easily reached by Metro. There's not much around for dinner/drinks, so you're better off eating elsewhere and then driving/training to the theater. It's a 5-minute walk from the Crystal City metro station, and can be reached without going outside.

Play is a different take on the old story. No dialogue. The basic story is okay & the actor playing the main character is pretty good w/a lot of physical flexibility required. Uses dancers in gas masks & a big TV as important parts which frankly I didn't get.

The Synetic Theater is a small, local, but powerful institution. Created by a Georgian director and his choreographer and senior performer Georgian wife, the theater and its Shakespeare without words productions are outstandingly professional and just downright amazing. I went to see "Macbeth" on a lark because I had a coupon: how can you do Shakespeare without words? Not possible, right? Well, the energy, choreography, and staging took my breath away. It's of course good to know the story, but the actors really manage to get the gist of the conflict and the personalities across by their movements and facial expressions. I was so sold that I went back to see their equally good "Othello" and plan to see "Romeo and Juliet" in the next few weeks. I still value Shakespeare's words but the drama in these wordless productions is not to be missed. Skeptics need to see this!The theater is located in the middle of Crystal City, Arlington, VA, and is less than one block underground from the metro--which is also just under the major bus station for commuter transit. So you can metro or bus to Crystal City and show up right at the theater. The theater is small and intimate--in fact, the Arena Stage held its productions here while its new venue was being built.Jaleo's often offers a combination dinner and theater package, but there are probably 60 restaurants within one mile of the theater.A really great experience.

We stumbled across this theater while seeking Metro access from our hotel. We pondered the worthiness of this theater for my birthday evening and I am SO pleased we took the plunge.The theater is very spacious and comfortable. Our last minute seats were perfect (2 X $45) for the presentation of The Three Musketeers. What a witty, humorous and very entertaining production. The actors were excellent.....some, worthy of Broadway.For a wonderful experience, do not hesitate to visit the Synetic!

We came accross this Synetic Theater a little by coincidence, and what a tremendous surprise we got. This is theather is the most professional way at the most affordable price. The Three Musketeers was entertaining, funny, very well done and truly unique, which is impressive considering the high standards of such a tale. The actors were superb. The special effects and lighting, something important to me, who have been on the stage as well and know the challenges of creating and coordinating special effects on--what I am sure is--a limited budget. Everything about the performance was grandiose, and there was nothing left to be desired when compared to the likes of Kennedy Center or Imagination Stage performances. What a gem!

We have been to Synetic many times, and we have almost always enjoyed the performances. They are very inventive and unlike most dance theaters you will go to. In my opinion, their wordless Shakepearean performances are the best. And the Metro stop couldn't be more convenient!

I have been attending Synetic's SIlent Shakespeare series for years - your first reaction will be that Shakespeare without the text just cannot work. Trust me, it does. The story and emotions are conveyed through movement, costumes, original music and inventive staging (for The Tempest a water pool covered most of the stage evoking the sea and island setting of the play). The text based performances are a little bit less interesting to me, but still well worth going. Convenient to Crystal City Metro and free parking evenings and weekends.

You have to look a bit for the theater - in the Crystal City Underground, across from the parking - but the experience once you get there is well worth it. Beauty and the Beast was told through acting, acrobatics, "shadow theater," pantomime, beautiful lighting, and a bit of narration. A beautiful, creative experience.The theater is only a couple of blocks from Jaleo's (Spanish tapas, etc.) which is a great way to start the evening.
