Sedated By A Brick present a pathological performance.

Ten seconds of blood to the brain.

A silent figure manipulates two lifeless bodies, trying to revive them; forcing breath into their lungs, dressing and undressing them, pressing cups of tea to their unresponsive lips.

As the bodies are resuscitated, the knot of his reality unravels and they begin to exert their control over the quiet man and his world.

Sedated by a Brick make “alien, David Lynch-like” work (Ed Rapley).

This piece marks two years of thinking, talking and moving.

Supported by Theatre Bristol and Tobacco Factory Theatre’s Prototype Initiative.

Some of the faces people made when they watched If Destroyed Still True at The Brewery, Bristol in March 2011.

One Comment to “If Destroyed Still True”

  1. Hi, you sound like a right laugh, need a hand?

    I’m a Fine Art student, my main interest is in live performance and I also studied Theatre Design and Physical Theatre some years ago.

    I moved to Bristol recently (after 10 years in rural mid-wales) and I’m looking for interesting projects to get involved with. So if there’s anything you need doing with this or future productions, I’m keen.

    Please excuse the informal approach!
    Yours, Imogen
