It starts with a persistent tremor. Three women are working hard. They are using utilitarian domestic objects and a choreography of subtle shaking and relentless labour to produce moments of operatic melodrama and brooding states of dissent, quaking and eruption. What is the role or necessity of pain in personal and social change? And who pays the price? “We Are Fucked” uncovers the hard work it sometimes takes to live in a world which is not designed for you. A dance piece, both subtle and ecstatic, euphoric and unforgiving.
The live art and performance artist Jo Bannon from Bristol shows her works in the UK and Europe, works as a dramaturg and producer of performance and live art. Her work centres on a fascination for communication and encounters. In “We Are Fucked” she is on stage together with two dancers for the first time.

Notes:
Going to the theatre often requires long periods of sitting on more or less comfortable seats in confined spaces. We offer alternatives, so that more people can enjoy the event. At all events there are a variety of options for sitting or laying down, e.g. beanbags, sofas or mattresses. These alternative seats are limited. Please use the Early Boarding or contact us directly after purchasing your ticket.
For blind and visually impaired visitors, we offer an audio description (AD) for some performances. AD provides access to the visual elements – e.g. costumes, scenery, actions and movements – through a live audio track. Headphones will be available at the foyer of each venue. Some productions come with an integrated AD. Most ADs will be offered in combination with a Haptic Access Tour. In addition to the audio description (AD) blind and visually impaired visitors are invited to explore the performance space – e.g. costumes and objects on stage – haptically before the performance.
