Up The Line (2010)
November 2010
2010
The second in the series of investigations into how opinions on conflict and war form, using short abstract live art performances as a medium to engage during a lightening storm in a darkened cemetery.
Taking place in Brockley cemetery during in darkness and a lightening storm, the audience weaved through poets, dancers, musicians and installations along a narrow path, giving a taste of the foreboding that might be sensed when heading to a battlefront.
Background
This event followed on from a similar performance in 2009, assessing how war and conflict manifests and escalates, while nations and charities embody the symbolism and motifs of destruction.
