Jeremy Wade – The Clearing
4+4 DAYS IN MOTION 2019
 
theatre  

Jeremy Wade's long-term focus are the themes of care, treatment, health and support. He exposes overt vulnerability and assumes a critical stance towards mechanisms which exert violence towards people or nature. Wade builds on queer and feminist strategies, the ethics of relationships and the subjectivity of zombies. His works disturb and provoke. His most recent project is a hallucinogenic disassembly of pieces of reality which calls for solidarity and an effort to deal with problems, to transform the social structures and phenomena which make us sick. Jeremy Wade's new solo is a continuation of all his previous performances. His super-physical expression which includes dance, physical action, singing and verbal appeal, as well as the music and the stage design express the author's deep concern for the future; even hope itself is seen as a problem. Is it necessary to accept a loss? Or should we start writing new stories which can prepare us for the future?
