27: An Ecstatic Ritual of Life and Death by Peter McMaster
In Between Time Festival 2015
Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Brian Jones all died aged 27.
As Peter McMaster reaches 27 he contemplates this age of change, using autobiography and ritual to explore this tipping point between life and death.
Two performers push themselves towards bodily extremes, towards danger and potential ends. Embracing moments of physical excess, 27 turns the threat of untimely death into a vibrant celebration of being.
"Honest, inventive and beautifully choreographed"
–The Guardian, on Wuthering Heights
