JOSEF NADJ (FRANCE)Le cri du caméléon
A performance that combines elements of the theatre, dance and the circus, le Cri du Caméléonis the result of a fruitful encounter between the Anomalie Cirque Compagnie (ten young men who graduated three years ago from France’s Centre National des Arts du Cirque) and Josef Nadj, a highly talented choreographer with a boundless imagination.
SPEAK BITTERNESS
TIM ETCHELLS (SHEFFIELD)SPEAK BITTERNESS
“Speak Bitterness shows a group of seven penitents whose enormous task it is to confess to everything. They are by turns cowed, breezy, anguished, reluctant, jovial and of course determined. The text they work from lies somewhere between a mad catalogue of unlikely human infamy and the transcript perhaps of some strange and comical show-trial.” Tim Etchells for Forced Entertainment
