Monumental
Monumental - is Ros Warby’s critically acclaimed solo developed in collaboration with her long standing artistic team, designer Margie Medlin and composer Helen Mountfort. Together they create a richly layered and emotionally potent landscape that draws on iconic figures of ballet - the swan and the soldier. Warby's virtuosic performance displays her exquisite elegance and quiet command whilst captivating audiences with her remarkable presence. The profound and tragic edge of the work is interspersed with Warby’s penchant for humour and theatricality through the use of her voice. Her performance is supported brilliantly by Medlin's haunting, film-noir images, and Mountfort's original cello score that stretches from the hushed and atmospheric to the relentless and dramatic. Monumental is both profoundly moving and strangely beautiful.
