Glass by Rawcus

A woman with grey hair pulled back in a ponytail stands in profile with her face turned over her right shoulder. She wears a clear plastic garment. Two men are blurred in the background, both wearing white tank tops.

Thirteen diverse performers negotiate an evolving performance space supported by the immersive sound of Jethro Woodward. Delving into dynamics of power, restriction, tenacity and ambition, this new work interrogates invisible edges, boundaries and barriers. GLASS is an invitation to redefine success, limitations, and virtuosity.

Set to premiere in 2020 and stalled by the global pandemic, this project has become an experiment in international collaboration, a response to the challenge of creating a work together when travel is no longer possible. Embracing the experience of connecting through distance and the technology that allows us to do this, Marc is choreographing the work from the UK, joining Rawcus remotely in the rehearsal room.

Combining moments of vulnerability and humour, GLASS is highly physical, sculptural, unexpected and tender.

“Rawcus is world class theatre, sumptuously imagined, visually stunning and profoundly moving.”
