Offering us dances that are either full on or full off, 'the man from the electric' explore the nature of electricity; its role within and connection to the human body and what's what about wattage. Stories of dark nights where the light is just out of reach, Power cuts and candles. A colour that's never been seen before, brighter than gold and deeper than black. Suitable for 14 years +. Contains some strong language.
