Synopsis

Richard III, The Pleasures of Violence, the Kadozuke Kollektif’s most ambitious and complex work to date, puts a humanistic spin on Shakespeare’s political propaganda play. Intensely visual and highly choreographed, Jennings’ Richard III explores the passion, violence and disaster that erupted in the family of three York brothers – Edward, Clarence and Richard – following the impulsive and secret love and marriage of Edward IV, King of England to Elizabeth Woodville. Jennings transforms Shakespeare’s classic into a sensual exploration of the humanity of the characters, partly by making unseen events of the traditional story visible for the first time. While faithful to the original text, Jennings subverts its overtly propagandistic content through the unexpected and extremely detailed behaviour of the performers onstage. (Show Facebook Event)
