I
n a bar at the end of a long night's drinking two performers collaborate with their audience in the planning and rehearsal of a theatrical performance event.
This is a rehearsal of a 'new' show but also a rehearsal of, and attempt to come to terms with, the inevitability of the death of ourselves and our loved ones.
This is a unique show offering a contemplation on creativity and the inevitability of mortality through three versions of the same performance, performed by differently aged and gendered couples.
Each show is related to the others around a common theme and structure, but each show comprises a radically different reflection on, and rehearsal of, the processes and potentialities of dying.
"There's something about imagining it that makes the reality of it not so bad, that means you'll be able to cope with it when it happens, but there's also the fear that if I think hard and strong enough about it, I could bring about the potential deaths of my loved ones...."
Pigeon Theatre are greenroom associate artists and are a Manchester based physical performance company. Using their unique, distinctive and bizarre physical performance style, the work is highly interactive and provides an insightful contemplation on time, death, memory and imagination.
