Marc Brew and world renowned choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui bring a stunning new collaboration to international stages.
an Accident / a Life is a rich visual theatre experience that unravels moments in our lives, exploring difficult things using humour, 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 / a Life follows on from Brew’s notable solos, For Now I am… and Remember When, both critically and publicly celebrated.
