Description Reviews
Inspired by John Steinbeck’s 1937 novel Of Mice and Men , this highly physical production explores friendship, cooperation and trust through a combination of thrilling acrobatics, bewitching lighting, music and an ingenious set. Whilst fighting to keep afloat, five strangers are thrown together on a pitching, rolling vessel adrift somewhere between earth and sky in a performance of great beauty and heart-stopping tension. Bolze is one of today’s most original and brilliant young circus creators. A regular at the London International Mime Festival, he has worked with the likes of Josef Nadj, François Verret, Jérôme Thomas and Archaos, and was last seen at the Barbican with Tangentes in 2007. He was awarded France’s prestigious ‘Prix du Cirque’ in 2009. ‘A goldmine of ideas, beautiful, clever, simply superb.’ Le Monde Performance time: 19:45 Running time: 75mins / no interval Age guidance 7+ 27 Jan Post Show Talk Conceived and directed by Mathurin Bolze Original music by Philippe Foch, Jérôme Fêvre Co-produced by La Brèche, Cherbourg; Les Subsistances, Lyon; L’Agora, Boulazac; Le Parc de la Villette, Paris; La Verrerie d’Alès en Cévennes; le Cratère-Scène Nationale d’Alès; Théâtre des Salins-Scène Nationale de Martigues; Théâtre National de Bretagne, Rennes; Scène nationale 61, Alençon; Grand Théâtre de Lorient; Le Trident-Scéne National de Cherbourg-Octeville.
