Brighton Festival: Zero, Dome Corn Exchange

Zero is a tragedy in five acts, a meditation on the weather, moods, passions and desires and a show which puts live blues/jazz music in counterpoint with convulsive, choreographed bodies. It combines a range of styles and sounds as its performers move between graceful synchronicity or tortured, jealous conflict, knotted around one another.

Audiences have come to expect the earth from director Yaron Lifschitz and his Circa ensemble, and in this world premiere of Beyond he gives them the moon as well. He has the enviable knack of finding the most insanely talented artists and then creating heart-breaking and amazing productions around them.
