Love and War
The Studio
A heart-searching dance work of savage beauty
"Bruce's choreography has never looked more inventive, with classically based moves twisted into ferocious gestures of destruction or strung out into decadent ennui.  The dancers are excellent."  The Guardian
In his startling new work Mark Bruce uses theatre-in-the round and a soundtrack including Sparklehorse, The White Stripes, Queens of the Stone Age and Gyorgy Ligeti, to plunge the imagination into a raw arena of the otherworld.  Time shifts and figures from myth and ritual collide; Gods emerge amongst frenzied cheerleaders, murderous strangers, dogs of war and bedraggled homecoming queens, in a heart-searching dance work of savage beauty.
 
LOVE AND WAR is the Mark Bruce Company's latest full-length production since its critically acclaimed SEA OF BONES.
