Any attempt will end in crushed bodies and shattered bones - T367100714

UK Premiere. In any attempt will end in crushed bodies and shattered bones, Jan Martens presents a production about the power that lies in being different. Performed by a 17-strong, unconventional corps de ballet of unique personalities. The diverse group spans generations, the youngest being 17 and the eldest 70, with differences in training and background. The dancers seek their own voice. One by one they claim their place on stage, without cutting off the others. They are supported by a soundtrack that consists of unconventional protest songs from different ages - including Polish composer Henryk Gorecki, jazz musicians Max Roach and Abbey Lincoln, and spoken word artist Kae Tempest.
