Here’s another performance that I think will be thought-provoking and disturbing – at least I hope so. It’s Fear No Colours’ production of To Have Done with the Judgement of God, at the Main House @ C Venues, C Too, at 20:15 on Wednesday 22nd. Here’s the blurb: “How many pounds of flesh does it take to feed a god? Something is stirring, pulsing, preparing to hatch. In the image of the gods, humans are bred in infinite numbers to feed their ambition, while feeding off an earth that can no longer support them. In the wastelands between, bodies crawl across the ground in a savage howl from birth to decay. Commemorating the 70th anniversary of Antonin Artaud’s death and his invaluable contribution to modern performance practice, Fear No Colours present a new physical adaptation of his final, staggering work.”
If anyone can tackle this kind of theatrical challenge, Fear No Colours can! I’m hoping to be confronted with all sorts of shocks and surprises – and I’m sure I won’t be disappointed. The performers are: Harry Pearce, Kristupas Liubinas, Tingting Liu, Andrew Davies, Rhiannon Bird and Findlay Duff. Check back around 9.30pm to see our reaction. By then the next preview blog should be available to read too.
What I really admire about Fear No Colours is that they throw their heart and soul into everything they do. This incredibly intense and difficult piece of writing is brought to life in a most imaginative and daring way. There are sequences of highly physical theatre that take your breath away. Intriguing and a tough watch, but thrilling too. Highly recommended!
