A darkly comic and emotional duet that
fuses evocative video, a deeply idiosyncratic dance
style with an inventive and absurd use of props. Deadpan
and damaged 'identical twins (Sean Tuan John and Belgian
dance artist Bert Van Gorp) recount strangely humorous
tales of deranged mothers, of violent cities and searching
for beauty in the ugliest things.
Childlike and sinister THE BROTHERS VERY GRIMM updates
the life of fairytales of The Grimm Brothers to a modern
world of 'care in the community' and Borstal where life
is always lived in the wrong lane.
THE BROTHERS VERY GRIMM has been performed extensively
in Britain and has also been performed in Belgium, Poland
and Spain.
