A sweaty palmed recollection of the night we first saw Triple Negative - three defiantly generous and original beings who shook us warmly out of a stupor with this show. Split between the baffling overlay of audio and their completely compelling presences onstage it was hard to know how to process what was happening, at once riveted to the spot and then overwhelmed with the fierce urge to leave the room until we could come back with something better to say for ourselves. Will leave an indelible mark on your brain.
