THE WEDDING
Sadler's Wells East. Wed 21 > Sat 24 Jan.
We are all married, bound by a contract.
But what are the terms of this relationship?
And can we consider a divorce?
The Wedding is inspired by the complexities of human nature: the struggle between love and anger, creation and destruction, community and isolation. Everything is laid bare for the audience to see in this reimagined version of physical theatre company Gecko’s highly successful production, which was a huge sellout hit at LIMF2019.
In a blur of wedding dresses and contractual obligations, Gecko’s extraordinary ensemble of international performers guide audiences through a dystopian world in which we are all brides, wedded to society.
Combining movement, imagery and provocative narratives in Gecko’s trademark style, The Wedding brings matrimonial contracts into question with an emotionally charged and spectacular performance.
We all want to believe in our journey, but where are we heading? Is it too late to stop, to go back, to fall in love, to start again?
