Marc Brew performs this deeply personal work, created with Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, in a strongly visual blend of dance and theatre. The piece is built on Brew's own experience: at 20, early in his ballet career, the car he was travelling in was hit by a drink-driver. Three people with him were killed, and Brew survived but was left paralysed.
Rather than telling this as a straightforward story, the production uses a spare but striking set, music, dance, narration, film, a car on stage and touches of humour to explore that traumatic, life-changing moment and what came after it. Brew's own account and Cherkaoui's direction meet in a piece that is moving and unusually intimate.
Brew is also performing the show at Revolver on the following nights, so there are several chances to see it in Copenhagen.
