DEEP IN THE GARDEN OF LIGHT - First Drafts at The Yard
“The sight of London to my exiled eyes
Is as Elysium to a new-come soul.”
Inspired by the aesthetics of underground dance culture, Deep in the Garden of Light is both a feeling and a figment of your imagination. Devised and directed by Nick Finegan, it will be set to a live electronic score and use Christopher Marlowe’s Edward II (1594) as a base text through which to explore ideas around urban loneliness and queer identity.
Marlowe’s original tragedy will be melted down and recast into a cityscape of hi-octane genderfuckery, post-internet persona play, classical dance, sweaty pop-choreography and haute couture fashion.
Elysium never smelt so good…
