CANCELLED // Claire Cunningham (UK) - Thank you very much
Despite the cancellation, Claire and her team write «Letters to the Darkness».
This performance was cancelled. «Thank you very much» will be performed in the coming season. Despite the cancellation Claire and her team write «Letters to the Darkness».
Claire Cunningham invites you into the glittering and mysterious world of professional tribute artists: Internationally renowned artists with disabilities copy the movements, facial expressions, gestures and voices of showbiz greats, while destroying the myth of the perfect body. As the performers conquer the stage in sparkling costumes, questions about identity, acceptance, prejudices and even hostility arise involuntarily. The performance is intimate and provocative, it is humorous and it questions societys norms.
