Marc Brew performs his own deeply personal work, An Accident / a Life, a piece that blends dance and theatre into something distinctive. It draws on a traumatic chapter of his life: as a 20-year-old at the start of his ballet career, the car he was travelling in was struck by a drunk driver. Three people with him died, and Brew survived, though the crash left him paralysed.
The production is highly visual, using sparse but striking staging, music, dance, storytelling, film, a car on stage and humour. It was created together with Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, who helps Brew move through this intimate and emotionally charged material.
Brew is also booked for the same production at Revolver on 18, 19 and 20 November 2026, so there are other nights to choose from if this one does not suit.
