Details

Wrestling An Angel takes the audience on a physical and emotional voyage through the complex landscape of the human body and mind in the unique setting of surgery and slaughter. With a cast of over thirty performers - arresting images and fascinating characters haunt the spaces as the audiences explores these buildings. The second part, taking place on a different evening, continues at The Abattoir, a vast underground space. Formally a real abattoir, the audience moves through a collection of beautifully lit rooms guided by haunting music and sound and encountering a priest taking confession, a floating carpet of dust and an angel amongst a host of performers. Video projections flare up and recede, resembling flickering images of fragmented memories and thoughts, creating a twilight world of the imagination. The first part of the performance takes place at the Old Operating Theatre Museum, London Bridge on Nov 5-7 and 12-15. It is essential to book your time slot in advance. Audience capacity is strictly limited so we recommend early booking to avoid disappointment.
