Aftermath / Tribal Assembly - Bad Taste Cru
Back to: What's On,
Performances
A mind-blowing evening featuring three epic hip-hop theatre pieces choreographed and performed by Newcastle’s own world renowned Bad Taste Cru.
Heavily influenced by the boys’ own experiences of growing up in Omagh, the emotive Aftermath follows four characters struggling to exist in the wake of a terrorist act. Aftermath became the first breakdance work to be commissioned for the prestigious Place Prize for Dance 2010.
Performed for the first time in a theatre, Bad Taste’s major outdoor commission Tribal Assembly follows four very different characters (The Chav, The Homeless Person, The Businessman and The Rocker) in their battle for power amidst social class stereotyping, to spectacular effect.
Just Another Day is a new addition to the evening. This piece takes a look at some of the everyday scenarios the dancers find themselves in giving you an insight into the lives of the characters and how they live from day to day.
Who will come out on top?
Running Time: 1 hour 10 mins (includes 15 mins interval)
