Written to be performed by two guides within an existing art exhibition, and recently presented by the National Theatre in London's Whitechapel Gallery, the triple award-winning ENGLAND travels the trade routes of art and human beings through space and across borders.
Forget thoughts of skinheads or nostalgia, ENGLAND is about an empire of a different kind - one of transmigration and transplantation. It's the story of one thing placed inside another: a heart inside another person's body, a culture inside another country's culture, a play inside an audience and a theatre inside a gallery.
This piece is performed in the Peter Scott Gallery, Lancaster University, during the exhibition Looking Aside, exhibition details here.
Directed by Karl James and a smith
Performed by Tim Crouch and Hannah Ringham
An endlessly thoughtful piece which artfully challenges a globalised world where everything is for sale, and questions the value we put on art and on human life.
