Strange Fish- DV8

 Strange Fish:

Synopsis:

• Strange Fish looks at our quest for someone to love and to believe in something, or someone. In a collection of powerful pictures, the tyranny of couples and communities, the agony of not belonging and the fear of being alone are all laid bare. Strange Fish mixes humour, physicality and religious iconography, taking it beyond the boundaries of traditional dance.
• Themes: Love, Loneliness, Conflict, longing and disappointment
• As an active participant, the package, generated by Peter J. Davison, exists. To create shocking visual surprises, it includes water and a brown back wall covered with windows , doors and ledges. Strange Fish, a satisfying and unforgettable fusion of sight and sound, is as close to total theatre as you'll get. Perhaps it is DV8's best piece yet.
• Unmistakably, Strange Fish conveys ideas about isolation and conflict, longing and disappointment, the need for someone to believe or anything to fill the void. But it does this in a manner that has none of Dead Dreams 's harsh directness; its style is satirical, amusing, oblique, without diluting its poignancy in any way. It uses a variety of means: dance, voice, singing, décor and music (by Jocelyn Pook and Adrian Johnston) (already present in "if only …").

Pictures:

• Strange Fish is all about couples and couples, but just regular and heterosexual ones. It focuses on the female part of the union, the women who scare and scare the boys and lead them astray-sirens, Mary Magdalenes and scarlet women.
