An Accident
This exciting new collaboration between Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Marc Brew unravels moments in our lives through dance, exploring difficult things with/without words using storytelling, film, music, dance and a car.
Their starting point was sharing life stories and key moments of change. For Marc, this was his car accident, where he went from ballet dancer to paraplegic in a split second. An Accident follows on from Brew’s notable solos, ‘For Now I am…’ and ‘Remember When’, both critically and publicly celebrated.
