Glass- tickets on sale
Internationally renowned UK-based choreographer Marc Brew teams up with the inimitable Rawcus Ensemble in new performance work, GLASS.
Set to premiere in 2020 and stalled by the global pandemic, this project has become an experiment in international collaboration, a response to the challenge of creating a work together when travel is no longer possible. Embracing the experience of connecting through distance and the technology that allows us to do this, Marc is choreographing the work from the UK, joining Rawcus remotely in the rehearsal room.
In Glass, thirteen performers negotiate an evolving performance space supported by an immersive soundscape. Delving into dynamics of power, restriction, tenacity and ambition, this new work interrogates invisible edges, boundaries and barriers. GLASS is an invitation to redefine success, limitations, and virtuosity.
Combining moments of vulnerability and humour, GLASS is highly physical, sculptural, unexpected and tender.
“Rawcus is world class theatre, sumptuously imagined, visually stunning and profoundly moving.”
