Don’t Kill Daisy: A show you can play
Lost in the middle of a desert rave, Daisy encounters every danger imaginable. Your job: keep her alive, no matter what.
FROM PRESS:
“Don’t Kill Daisy is a masterclass in solo showmanship. . . an hour of pure, unadulterated joy with the comedic genius of Soleil Kohl at the helm.”
-Immersive Scene Los Angeles
“a prop-driven exercise in up-close and brilliant clowning. . .fast, funny, and fueled by the pure, unrelenting energy and quick wit of Kohl as Daisy.”
-Immersive Scene Los Angeles
“Unforgettable, Delightfully weird, And unlike anything else at Fringe. . . Kohl has created a show where the audience isn’t simply watching — they’re helping shape the world in real time.”
-Stage Takes
from audiences:
-
"I have never seen a show like this.
Part RPG, part clown, part improv and absolutely bananas. With the sound cues, acting, and perfect embodiment of video game character body movements, I felt transported into a PC game from the early 2000s”
-
"one of the best shows honestly I've ever seen.
She starts, casting her spell as soon as you walk in the theater and before long the audience is putty in her hands. Her presence on stage – – intimate, spontaneous, funny – – is remarkable. The entire performance is improvised with the audience and one has the feeling you could literally throw anything at her and she would not be phased and would weave it into the incredible tail she spins. I laughed, I cried. Incredibly moving. Not to be missed.” -Michael Dow
-
"Soleil is a genius conceptualizer and an insane performer.
As a lover of videogames (especially JRPGs) and anime tropes, Don’t Kill Daisy delivers on everything it promises and more. Full of physical comedy, great prop work, SO MUCH great audience work, irreverent writing, an insanely chaotic story structure held together by the ever-changing yet still somehow logical rules of this world-Don’t Kill Daisy is nonstop entertainment executed so simply and beautifully.”
-
"GO SEE THIS SHOW!
This show is a must see; It is pure chaos and an absolute riot.” -Tiffany Asta
-
"Soleil has an effortless charm
that makes them so much fun to watch. This is a show with high rewatchability. It is a creative idea that is executed in a way that is insane and chaotic (complimentary).” -Veronica Rosas
-
"A wild immersive concept where an entire audience helps control the fate of a lone hero in a live-action video game.
Interaction and cooperation are essential to her survival and eventual victory over the big boss. Such an amazing idea brought to life so beautifully.” - Tom Szymanski
-
"immensely fun, inventive, and immersive
Soleil creates a sense that anything can happen, and the audience becomes part of the adventure. The world-building is incredibly imaginative.” -Mandy Keen
-
"I don’t think I could have had more fun if I tried
as Don’t Kill Daisy is joyous from start to finish. I couldn’t stop laughing, smiling, or crying happy laugh tears because it was just that much fun.” - Spencer Frankeberger
-
"This show is a fucking blast!
If I saw it 100 times, I don’t think I’d get bored of it. AI could never.” - Will Thomas McFadden
