Horsemeat bold confronts love, life, sexuality and becoming 25. Set against a backdrop of music that mixes the disco beats of Erasure with the beauty of Chopin, Gary Clarke plunges head first into a nightmarish playground of frantic movement and thriving gestures in this ‘all singing , all dancing’ autobiographical solo.
Created in collaboration with dance mavericks Javier de Frutos and Nigel Charnock, Horsemeat presents a series of twisted episodes that are thought provoking, deeply intimate and powerfully engaging.
Horsemeat was co-produced by Danceworks UK, Yorkshire
Dance Centre, Laban and Barnsley Theatre Trust Ltd with
additional support from Arts Council England, Yorkshire
through a Grants for the Arts award.
This work is presented in memorial to Richard Whistler 1969-2008, a supporter of the New Wolsey Theatre and more importantly, a friend.
