There Is No Way Back

Lilian Baylis Studio, Sadler´s Wells Theatre. London, December 2012.

Based on Lorca’s play, Blood Wedding, this performance explores through the character of ‘The Bride’ how passion can explode tradition. This conflict between instinct and cultural background is made material reality in the performance.

Following a thorough investigation into the use of new materials in costume construction, the designer has created an ephemeral garment, honouring Lorca’s unknown drawings, as a vehicle for the performer’s improvisation.
