The End
by Bertrand Lesca and Nasi Voutsas. Part of Dance Reading.
THE END is a poignant and funny account of the ongoing climate catastrophe. In this new show, Bert and Nasi dance the end of their relationship, imagining what a future without each other might look like. Above the stage and projected onto a screen, two parallel narratives run alongside each other: the end of the Earth and the end of their partnership. Their dance is a reminder and a celebration of our own mortality, and that of everything around us.
“Both insistently silly and unreservedly heart-rending” ★★★★ The Guardian
Bert & Nasi’s stripped back, award-winning style sits somewhere between theatre, dance and live art- but if you held them against a wall, they would probably say it’s theatre. Their funny, playful, sometimes brutal performances are direct and emotional responses to the world we’re living in right now.
Commissioned by The Place and Warwick Arts Centre. Developed with support from the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity. Supported by Arts Council England. Bert & Nasi are produced by Farnham Maltings.
Presented by South Street in partnership with Dance Reading.
