I Am Falling - TNT

A devoted marriage which lasted more than five decades is portrayed in words and movement in this short but poignant dance work. The three performers enter what looks like a rehearsal room, the younger couple in sweats and T-shirts, the older man more conservatively dressed, and describe the set and the few items on it. The pared down simplicity of the staging heightens the emotional power of the choreography as son Tony, in middle age, recalls a cliff-top incident when he was a child of six and compares it with the final farewell party held by his parents who (even when old and with his mother dying of cancer) are seen as in their youth. Only in retrospect can Tony come anywhere close to understanding the profound, mutual dependence of a relationship which would not permit one to carry on living without the other. It's an unusual venture for a tiny space above a pub, but the intensity of Petra Soor and Ben Duke's fluid performances movingly captures the ecstasy and pliant trust of an enduring, exclusive and unbreakable bond.
