Gaza/Blaenannerch
24 October 2012
Eddie Ladd and Judith Roberts are both celebrated and established artists, hailing from different disciplines. As a theatre director Judith is best known for tackling the likes of Beckett and Miller, while Eddie, a highly physical performer, is renowned for her daring and political pieces.
Set against Philip Glass’s haunting String Quartets Nos. 1 and 5, Gaza/Blaenannerch considers the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a fresh perspective – that of another nation striving to find its identity: Wales. This is a compelling piece of bilingual dance theatre. Its strong, clear narrative frames a series of powerful dance pieces and the human body becomes both an expressive tool and a teaching aid.
Performances in the Emily Davies Studio on the 2nd November (7.30 pm) and 3rd November (6.00 Pm and 8.15 pm)
Supported by Arts Council of Wales.
