& David Glass Ensemble(UK)
12 Brides. 1 Room. 0 Grooms. 4 Seasons.
Co-produced by Collettivo Teatro Siena and David Glass Ensemble
Devised by the company and directed by David Glass.
The Brides is a visually ravishing, provocative, and hilarious evocation of ‘the female principle’. Twelve Brides awaken in ‘The Palace of Survival’- they dance, fight, love, and hope through the four seasons watched over by The Bride of Death. The expressive approach, rooted in the visceral exploration of emotion and imagination, unveils the intense research carried out during the creative process and communicates the strength, desperation and beauty of ‘femininity’.
Brides Reloaded performed on the 23rd of January 2018 at Teatro dei Rozzi.
