![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() From small gestural moments Sulan unravels the psyche within human encounter. A violently collapsed building, covered in detritus and dust, broken rubble, and outdated public furniture is the zone for living upon which people climb, dance, stumble, partner, move and touch. With it’s climbing ivy and deposited sand from on high, we feel the stuffy thick air where breathing is stifled. It’s personal, human, and affecting, asking big questions.Ī cast of fifteen mixed-ability, aged, and gendered performers, range over one of the best sets I’ve seen in 2017. In a world constantly threatening war, with world leaders beating their chests with their ready arsenal of punitive militarism, modern day workplaces that push people and production to their limits, discarding both in endless churn, and with the rising cost of living sidelining the vulnerable, this work is one for its time. Inspired by her flagging will to dance, group work Song For A Weary Throat, with live sonic accompaniment by clarion champions The Invenio Singers, touches the heart because it comes from the heart. Kate Sulan and her group Rawcus’ 2017 masterwork has themes of despair and alienation many of us in this present day relate to. ![]()
