Description
Marc Brew and world-renowned choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui bring a stunning collaboration to the stage for the first time.
an Accident / a Life is a rich visual theatre experience that unravels key moments in our lives, exploring difficult things using humour, storytelling, film, music, dance and a car. For Marc, this key moment 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.
