Holy
Wood

                      A Physical Theatre Performance

Holy Wood is a highly physical play between a woman and a man, seeking to reverse the archetypical relations of power, control and dominance between genders. By exploring bodily rituals and practices as diverse as martial arts, couple’s dance, musicals, or BDSM practices; the performers engage in a stage exploration seeking emotional extremes, absurdity, humour and compassion. They play games, compete, fight, challenge and trust each other, while destroying and re-constructing iconic images, ranging from pop culture to beaux arts and horror films.
