Must - the Inside Story

Synopsis:
This is part of the Under the Radar Festival. In collaboration with the UK-based Clod ensemble, New York performance artist Peggy Shaw takes the audience on a journey across the landscape of her own body. Renowned for her own gender-bending autobiographical work, she recounts her extraordinary experiences of the medical profession from her current perspective as a 65-year-old lesbian grandmother. Must weaves together the stories of a lifetime-giving birth on the way to Woodstock, her mother's electric shock treatment in 1950s America, the loss of a loved one-with projected microscopic images and live musicians performing a powerful score.

Red Chair

Synopsis:
Let us tell you a strange tale that did unfold someplace in the glum north o'the warld, where there lived a Man who could not stop eating, a Woman doomed to cook his meals and one 'inveesible child'. . .Told in a rich and saucy Scots dialect with physical verve, a wee dram of whisky to oil the way, and a musical score that rolls in like mist over the hills, The Red Chair lies somewhere between a Grimm's Tale, an absurdist ghost story and a parent's guide on how not to bring up children.

Silver Swan

Synopsis:
A compelling group of performers moves through the cavernous Turbine Hall, struggling to form a chorus and even to keep their balance. Seven unaccompanied singers re-imagine two 17th Century songs, by John Smith and William Lawes , weaving their melodies into a dense and haunting texture to create a completely new piece of contemporary music.

Songs For the Dead

Synopsis:
Death has been described as the last great taboo of our age. Yet it seems to me that death and dying have been well and truly outed. Open a newspaper and you'll find John Diamond facing the consequences of cancer. Turn on the TV and if Oprah isn't helping a studio of people overcome their grief, some soap opera will be showing an individual being snuffed out by a rate incurable disease that nobody has ever heard of, or an entire community rubbed out by a billion-to-one catastrophe. Not since the 17th century and the Jacobean revenge playwrights has popular culture been quite so obsessed by death. Since Diana died and brought funerals back into fashion, we have all become death groupies. In this context, Matters of Life and Death, a season of theatre about death and dying at London's BaC, seems slightly less essential, particularly since so few of the shows get to grips with the subject matter. there has been some terrific theatre work on the theme of dying: it recently proved good West end box office in Margaret edson's Wit, about an American professor who dies of ovarian cancer. Frantic assembly's immensely touching Hymns, about the rising toll of young male suicides (which had two performances in the BaC season), and Improbable's Coma have taken death to the cutting edge of performance. But after a week at BaC I feel bombarded by statistics and jokes. Why do so many companies fail to take this subject seriously? Or simply treat it like an actuarial statement? Is it that many of the companies here are' made up of young people who have not yet confronted their own mortality.
