Marc Rees returns
from his site specific/installation sojourn
with a brand new theatrical work that promises
to be his most flamboyant and ambitious project
to date. With the support of a world class creative
team including opera designer John MacFarlane
and
Berlin dance duo Rubato, Marc has created an
imaginative, compelling and moving piece of dance
theatre inspired
by an extraordinary character, the 5th
Marquis of Anglesey, Henry Cyril Paget.
Known as 'The Dancing Marquis', Paget challenged
and subverted Edwardian notions of class, gender,
decorum and theatrical propriety. His fantastical
lifestyle and subsequent unglamorous downfall
provides the focus for this unique multi-disciplinary
solo
work.
