We Are Fucked
Soft flesh contends with hard metal as vibrating bodies and hysterical voices attempt to unseat the hidden interior of anxiety, desire, daily exertion, sexuality and relentless penetration.
These bodies are working hard. They are using domestic objects and a choreography of subtle shaking to produce moments of operatic melodrama and brooding states of dissent, quaking and eruption. What is the role or necessity of pain in personal and social change? And who pays the price? “We Are Fucked” uncovers the hard work it sometimes takes to live in a world which is not designed for you. A dance piece, both subtle and ecstatic, euphoric and unforgiving, and a bit sexy
We Are Fucked is a new ensemble performance work by leading UK artist Jo Bannon with Rosana Cade and Louise Ahl. Commissioned by Unlimited and produced by MAYK.
“Doubt and disturbance come to a climax in Jo Bannon’s powerfully penetrating performance”
