Hits Like a Girl begins like many other Fringe shows: a person on stage with some musical instruments. But the similarities end quickly and another show begins, one that is vulnerable, truthful and extremely impactful.
Written and performed by Vancouver artist Devon More, the 70-minute musical tracks More’s experience of living with brain damage. And thought the set is simple enough, the stagecraft at work is surprisingly complex. More is a highly-watchable performer that executes it all effortlessly.
This show asks you to think and demands your full attention. Parts of it delve in to abstraction and poetry while others are linear and narrative. It’s a curious and well-balanced vibe that illuminates the experience of living with executive dysfunction. It’s not always an easy show to watch, but it’s absolutely a valuable viewing experience.
