an Accident / a Life

An exciting collaboration between Marc Brew and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui.

A stunning, highly visual theatrical experience, including music, dance, storytelling, film and a car. A semi/autobiographical piece exploring the moments in our lives when everything changes. For Marc, this was his car accident, where he went from ballet dancer to paraplegic in a split second.

Performed by Marc Brew, this solo marks the first collaboration of the Australian, Scotland based artist, with world-renowned Flemish-Moroccan choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui.

an Accident/ a Life follows on from Brew’s notable solos, For Now I am… and Remember When, both critically and publicly celebrated.

“As a choreographer I am interested in how the body moves, and I’ve always looked and searched for how it copes, survives, thrives and changes with time, circumstances and age. With these areas in mind, It’s been extremely rewarding working with Marc because we are from the same generation, he is open and honest about his own unique experiences as a choreographer and dancer. an Accident / a Life is an auto-biographical performance: it’s a testimony of a very intense, specific and personal moment in time.” –  Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui

“It has been an incredible journey and a dream come true to collaborate with Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui in creating our new show ‘an Accident / a Life’. The new work has challenged me creatively and pushed me physically and I am extremely excited to share this ambitious and moving production.” – Marc Brew
